Woody Plants of the Southeastern United States: A Field Botany Course on CD is now available from Missouri Botanical Garden Press. I hope you will agree with me that it is the best way to learn plant identification, short of a course in field botany

Research

I study plant evolution from a structural and developmental standpoint, and have developed methods of improving morphological characters in studies of plant evolution. I have also developed innovative methods of computer-based visual learning. In addition to studying plant structure and development, students in my lab have worked on organic methods of weed control, and air pollution effects on pines.
