Herbarium Curator
Regional flora, vascular plant collections, and diagnostic morphology
Peter Alden approaches regional flora from first principles: diagnostic characters, habitat constraints, reproductive biology, and documented human use. He has curated vascular-plant collections at a major U.S. university herbarium and teaches evidence hierarchy for floristic writing. His contributions separate observation from inference, ensuring that taxonomy, distribution, and utility are presented as linked but independently verifiable claims.
