| Robert L. Wilbur, Professor Emeritus of Biology
Please note: Robert has left the "Duke Herbarium" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date. I have concentrated my research efforts in the floras
of the southeastern United States and Central
America. In Costa Rica I have been involved in a
floristic study of the plants in the rain forest at the
Organization for Tropical Studies Research Station at
La Selva. Taxa of particular interest are the tropical
Campanulaceae and the Central American species of
the Ericaceae and Gentianaceae.
