Botanist currently living in Hawai'i while pursue my graduate degree at University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. My research focuses on invasive grasses and their history and distribution across the islands of Hawai'i. I have general knowledge of most plant diversity and a specific interest in grasses and sedges. Feel free to tag me to ask for any sort of ID. Also, if I disagreed with you on an ID, just tag me and ask why.
