Research Themes

My research encompasses a broad range of studies on succulent plants, with a primary focus on morphology, taxonomy, and plant physiology. Integrating long-term horticultural observation with formal botanical science, I aim to document and analyze the diverse biological characteristics of succulents. This approach contributes to a deeper understanding of their classification, functional systems, and their evolutionary plasticity within the broader field of botanical research.
