The main aim of this page is to introduce you to my scientific research. As I primarily work on the large, essentially (sub)tropical plant family Rubiaceae ("coffee family"), this site contains a lot of information on this family, including available preserved material (Rubiaceae Fixations). Check Current Activities and Research for information on my work and cooperations in the tropics (primarily Asia, Africa and Madagascar).
