I'm a recently retired botanist with expertise in the plant family Gesneriaceae and botanical nomenclature. My work most recently involved collections management and data management in the United States National Herbarium (US). I have a general interest in all Lamiales; I also have some expertise in Begoniaceae. I'm also a plant breeder and occasional garden writer.

My current project is documenting the plants and insects that occur in and near my property in Rehoboth Beach (southern Delaware).

Please help me out with these observations of interesting Gesneriaceae that are buried under misidentifications:
