Professional biography

  • I am currently an Honorary Associate. My research interests are in biosystematics, biodiversity and conservation of succulent plants.
  • My passion in life is succulent plants that started as a school boy in 1967, when I grew a few plants on windowsills at my parent's house. Even at this early stage my interests were with the other succulents, mainly Adromischus, Aloe, Gasteria, and Haworthia. I now has a modest-sized greenhouse collection of succulents, with most of the major families of succulents represented; many tender plants, along with a collection of sansevierias, also occupy many windowsills in the house.
  • Over the years I have played various roles in the “succulent scene”. My involvement with the International Asclepiad Society started in 1977, since when I have been Treasurer, Membership Secretary, Chairman and Editor of the journal Asklepios. Editor of Bradleya, scientific Yearbook of the British Cactus & Succulent Society, 2001-2012. Currently chairman, British Cactus & Succulent Society (2013 to date). Recently became chairman of the British Cactus & Succulent Society's Research Committee.
  • A member of the International Organisation for Succulent Plant Research (IOS) and Fellow of The Linnean Society.
  • I have published many articles and papers in various succulent journals around the world. Contributed to the Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants (2001–2003) on families such as the Crassulaceae, Bombacaceae, Dracaenaceae, Nolinaceae, and Urticaceae, and I'm currently working on the revised second edition. 
  • In 2011 I co-authored Aloes - The Definitive Guide, co-published by The Royal Botanic Gardens Kew and The British Cactus & Succulent Society. This is a major volume dealing with a large genus of succulents, some of which, notably Aloe vera, are of major economic importance.
  • As well as growing and writing about succulents, my other passion is collecting literature on these plants, and I now has an extensive library of books, booklets, and periodicals, ranging from very technical monographs through to novels, children’s books and even comic books.
  • I’m married to Marjorie and we have a daughter, Amy.

                                                                                                                                       

 

Research interests

Present research interests are centred around the biosystematics, biodiversity and conservation of succulent plants, notably members of the genera Aloe and Agave. Current topics:

​(1) Writing revised entries for the second edition of the Illustrated Handbook of Succulent Plants, a multi-volume, multi-author work to be published both online and in hardcopy by Springer, Berlin. My mains contributions are as follows:

Asparagaceae: Beaucarnea, Dasylirion, Dracaena, Nolina.

Laxmanniaceae: Cordyline.

Malvaceae: Adansonia, Cavanillesia, Ceiba, Pseudobombax.

Crassulaceae: Umbilicus.

Urticaceae: Laportea, Obetia, Pilea, Sarcopilea.

Asteraceae: Baeriopsis.

(2) The genus Aloe in Ethiopia and Eritrea. 

(3) Biodiversity of the genus Agave in Mexico and the Caribbean.

I have been an invited speaker at several international conferences including: the Cactus & Succulent Society of America, San Francisco (1995); the Cactus & Succulent Society of New Zealand, New Plymouth (2000); The Succulent Plants of Eastern Africa, Verbania, Italy (2002), the Cactus & Succulent Society of New Zealand, Auckland (2005), the Cactus & Succulent Society of New South Wales, Australia (2010), the Cactus & Succulent Society of America, Mid-western Conference, Boston (2010), the Cactus & Succulent Society of America, Austin, Texas (2011), the Haworthia Society (2019). 

Currently chairman of the British Cactus & Succulent Society's Research Committee, which awards research grants to support projects that provide new information on the biology, propagation or cultivation of succulent plants.
