Gentianaceae: Systematics and Natural History

Lena Struwe is a Research Associate in The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Program for Molecular Systematics Studies at the Institute of Systematic Botany, New York Botanical Garden. Her main research interests are the evolution and biogeography of the Gentianaceae, and also the order Gentianales, specifically the families Loganiaceae and Gelsemiaceae. Victor A. Albert is Assistant Professor of Evolutionary Biology in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and Assistant Curator of the University of Alabama Herbarium at the Alabama Museum of Natural History. His research is broadly concerned with plant evolutionary biology, spanning a wide range of studies from gentian systematics, island biogeography, to understanding the molecular developmental basis for morphological novelty.
