Botanical Data Consultancy
Working with plant names and collections can be complex. Names change, synonyms appear, and databases don’t always line up. That’s where I can help.
I offer specialist support in botanical data management, making sure your plant names and records are accurate, consistent, and connected to the right global references.
What can I do for you
- Name cleaning - aligning your plant list with the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) backbone.
- Name matching - checking your taxa against the CITES Checklist and the IUCN Red List, so you know which species are protected or threatened.
- Data standardisation - preparing your collection data for integration with other databases, reports, or publications.
- Plots - designing clear, custom plots that bring your plant data to life.
- Orchid collections - specialist support for one of the most diverse and complex plant families, covering cultivation, collection management and orchid data.
- Custom solutions - every collection or dataset is different; let’s discuss your needs and find the right approach.
Why work with me
- A background in botanic gardens and living collections. I understand the challenges of managing real-world data.
- Tools built on reliable R-based pipelines, designed for efficiency and reproducibility.
- Clear deliverables: whether it’s a cleaned dataset, a report, or scripts you can reuse.
