• I'm a bloke.
  
• I study oaks.
  
• I'm hoping NOT to stir up authors whose articles I touch.

Current

- Vascular Plants Herbarium Curator
- California Floristic Province (CA-FP) red oak researcher (Genus Quercus, Section Lobatae, Series Agrifoliae)

Planned Wikipedia activities

Create/update articles touching the following Agrifoliae taxa:

• Q. agrifolia var. agrifolia
• Q. agrifolia var. oxyadenia (originally described as Q. oxyadenia)
• Q. kelloggii
• Q. parvula var. parvula (likely invalid taxon, appears to be Q. parvula var. shrevei × Q. wislizeni hybrid)
• Q. parvula var. shrevei (originally described as Q. shrevei)
• Q. parvula var. tamalpaisensis (invalid taxon; may eventually be resurrected as Q. ×tamalpaisensis)
• Q. wislizeni var. frutescens (Engelmann messed up ... this was never a valid taxon)
• Q. wislizeni var. wislizeni (Q. arcoglandis Kellogg may supercede this name)
• Q. ×chasei (Q. kelloggii × Q. agrifolia var. agrifolia)
• Q. ×ganderi (Q. kelloggii × Q. agrifolia var. oxyadenia)
• Q. ×morehus (Q. kelloggii × Q. wislizeni)
• Q. בwooteni’ (not yet described Q. kelloggii × Q. parvula var. shrevei hybrid)

Looking at the list above it's hard to believe there are only four species of red oak in California!

The fun never ends, right?
