Dear members, Some details about him. "Pascal Bruggeman, he is an amateur botanist from the Netherlands specialising in Araceae, especially Arisaema for which he has done extensive fieldwork in India having visted all S Indian states as well as Sikkim and W Bengal. He also have been on a fieldtrip with one of the group members Shirkant Ingalhikar and botanist Milind Sardesai and saw some incorrect comments in threads on Arisaema for which he will be giving helpful feedback. His research collection has provided DNA material for a soon to be published phylogeny on the genus Arisaema and consists 100+ species. He has worked together with Prof. Sivadasan and Prof. Yadav on Indian Arisaema." I welcome him on the group.
