Ken and Shirley Tucker Plant Systematist, Curator of the Clifton Smith Herbarium (Plant biology not elsewhere classified)

Santa Barbara Botanic Garden

Tucker Plant Systematist and Curator of the Clifton Smith Herbarium at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden (www.sbbotanicgarden.org). I am a botanist and evolutionary biologist with a focus on the plants of western North America, especially the California Floristic Province. I have also developed a strong interest in the California Channel Islands. Collaborators and I are working on book-length floras for Santa Catalina Island (Guilliams, Junak, et al.) and the California Channel Islands (Guilliams, Hasenstab-Lehman, and Junak). Taxonomically, I am interested in Boraginaceae subtribe Amsinckiinae (especially Plagiobothrys, which was the subject of my Ph.D. work, Amsinckia, Pectocarya, and Harpagonella (Amsinckiinae Working Group website: http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/plants/amsinckiinae/), Montiaceae (especially Calyptridium, Calandrinia, Cistanthe, Lewisia, and Montia), and a smattering of genera not in these families (Dudleya, Hazardia, Dithyrea, Eriodictyon, Potentilla).
