Plant taxonomy and crop wild relatives of Southeast Asia
Nathaniel Harrington is a systematic botanist who compares Southeast Asian crop relatives across herbarium records, protologues, and molecular phylogenies. His articles distinguish synonymy from genuine species limits and weigh taxonomic evidence against agricultural utility. He has worked with Missouri Botanical Garden collections and USDA germplasm datasets, bringing citation-led scrutiny to species profiles, regional floras, and conservation-relevant crop documentation.
