The genus Podandrogyne, a flowering plant in the mountainous regions from Guatemala to Bolivia
Dr. Theodore Cochrane, Senior Academic Curator in the Wisconsin State Herbarium, has received a professional development grant to undertake field research in Colombia later this year.
His goal is ultimately to publish a taxonomic revision of the flowering plant genus Podandrogyne. These fascinating plants are in the family Cleomaceae and live in mountainous regions from Guatemala to Bolivia.
Cochrane's work will involve identifying unidentified and misidentified collections in two major Columbia herbaria, photography and field collecting.
