I have been conducting botanical research in Papua New Guinea for the last ten years. I have never had any opportunity to collaborate with experts from around the world to enhance my skills and knowledge. I have been struggling with basic taxonomy and systematics. PNG has diverse Rhododendron species and so I wish to look at their potential economical value in terms of landscaping and urban beautification. To do so, I have to look at their ecology and the taxonomic level to delimit the species level.
