Specialism

Plant biology, taxonomy and ecology.

Passionate about the beauty of nature and the diversity of its ecosystems, I specialise in the Cyperaceae family of Madagascar in order to improve the knowledge of plant diversity in my country. Cyperaceae are a species-rich family and much taxonomic study is needed to better delimitate species.
