Areas of Teaching

I teach flowering plant morphology and taxonomy, evolution, and systematics in the following units:

BIOL 120 Biology II
BOTY 211/311 Plant Taxonomy

EVOL 211/311 Evolution and Biogeography
SYST 301 Systematics I
SYST 302 Systematics II

The SYST units are part of UNE's BSc (Biosystematics) program. The SYST units are taught by staff from the Australian Museum , Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney and UNE.

Research interests

  • My main research interests are in the biology, ecology and systematics of Cyperaceae. I am part of the international network of researchers working on the Cyperaceae. My contributions to the Flora of North America (see below) were published in Volume 23 (2002).
  • I also have been and am involved in studies on a wide range of Australian plant groups (including ferns, wattles, Myrtaceae, Euphorbiaceae, Phyllanthaceae, Juncaceae, etc.)

Specific research projects currently in progress include:

  • Floral development in Cyperaceae: What is a Flower?
  • Sedge Genera of the World
  • Photosynthetic pathway variation in Cyperaceae
  • Species and other taxonomic limits in the Cyperaceae.
  • Phylogeny of Cyperaceae. Current work is particularly focussed on Schoeneae
  • Flora of Australia treatments of some sedges and ‘spurges'

Scientific and UNE Committees

  • Member, Scientific Committee of the Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust
  • Member, Editorial Advisory Committee of Australian Systematic Botany
  • Member, Research Doctoral Committee, UNE
