Professor Charles Godfray
Choosing a favourite monocot is nigh on impossible but I’ve gone for a classic New Zealand tussock grass, Chionochloa rubra. My mother was a New Zealander and though I’ve never lived there I’ve visited a number of times and love walking in the mountains with their fabulous flora often dominated by tussock grass. I grow this species amongst other New Zealand plants in my garden in Oxfordshire.
Charles Godfray is a population biologist with a strong interest in biodiversity informatics and web-taxonomy. He has worked with the Natural History Museum and Kew groups on the CATE project (Creating a Taxonomic eScience) and will lead the developer group at Oxford.
