About the Lab

We do research in plant systematics, conservation genetics, biogeography, and molecular evolution. We primarily study Penstemon (Plantaginaceae), which is the largest plant genus native to North America, and parasitic plants of Orobanchaceae. Most of our recent efforts for Orobanchaceae are focused on the genus Hyobanche, which is a holoparasite native to South Africa, Lesotho and Namibia.
