 <br>Systematics of <i>Elatine</i> L. (Elatinaceae) using morphological, micromorphological, and molecular traits<br>
 My research focus is on systematics and evolution of the genus <i>Elatine</i>. Twelve <i>Elatine</i> species are naturally found in Eurasia (3 of which have been also reported from northern Africa), 10 species in North America, 5—7 species in temperate to mountainous zones of South America, two species in Malaysia and India, two species in southern Africa, and one species in Australasia. In the US, two species from this genus are reported to be invasive in recent decades: <i>Elatine triandra</i> (threestamen waterwort), and <i>E. ambigua</i> (Asian waterwort). Ploidy levels and chromosome numbers still remain unknown for many species in the genus; consequently, the hybridization process in this group remains obscure. As understanding the hybridization process in many plant groups is necessary for understanding the evolution of invasive species, chromosome studies seems to have great priority in this group. My goal is to publish a monograph of American <i>Elatine</i> species, using morphological traits, chromosome counting, and molecular phylogeny. Such a monograph will include an identification key, species descriptions, accurate pictures, and distribution maps, based on recent collections from the entire US.
