Research

A. Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Corydalis (Fumariaceae) – A monographic study of the approximately 500 species of Corydalis, including a detailed cpDNA phylogeny, biogeographic studies, nomenclature, etc. Strong focus is put on discovery and description of new species. The genus is most diverse in SE Tibet, NW Yunnan and W Sichuan. Side outcomes of the project are: papers on phylogeny and biogeography of Corydalis, descriptions of new taxa (so far about 150 new species published) et cetera. # publications: 45.

with: Chen Jun-Tong , KIB Kunming (phylogeny)

B. The genus Dionysia (Primulaceae), systematics, biology and biogeography – A monographic study of the ca 65 species of Dionysia, with emphasis on systematics, phylogeny and bipogeography. – wiith: Iran Mehregan (Tehran), systematics, field work, sequencing; Göteborg Botanic Garden, cultivation, popular outreach; Stina Weststrand (Göteborg), Sajad Alipour (Shiraz), Amin Zeraatkar (Shahrekord), field work. # publications: 13.
