Compositae Curation and Studies

This project involved the processing of Dr. Cuatrecasas' collections for distribution. The distributions entered into his filed notebooks. With G. Mckee, folders were printed and filled. Compositae was also shifted. With Vicki Funk, a revision of Acanthosperm was completed including two species descriptions, a genus description, a key to the species and a distribution map for the Guianas.
