Hydnora

The Strangest Plant in the World!!

Well, maybe not the strangest plant in the world, but certainly one of the most bizarre. This site includes pictures from my Hydnora and Prosopanche research as well as texts from published work and a bibliography of my papers on the genus. Research notes from field work will be recorded here as well.
