About Me
Hi! I'm NShehan, a contributor to Wikipedia with a strong interest in botany, taxonomy, and biodiversity. I focus particularly on the genus Asarum (wild ginger), and its closely related taxa. I also contribute to topics related to the flora of the southeastern United States.
My Work
Some of my ongoing Wikipedia interests include:
- Improving species-level articles on native U.S. plants
- Clarifying taxonomic relationships based on current peer-reviewed literature
- Adding references and images to underrepresented plant species
- Working with WikiProject Plants
Research interests
- Plant taxonomy and systematics
- Speciation in southeastern U.S. flora
- Habitat specialization (e.g., bogs, longleaf pine systems)
- Invertebrate biodiversity (especially land snails and insects)

“what do we care that there is a tree in Brazil named aguaxima, if all we know about it is its name? What is the point of giving the name? It leaves the ignorant just as they were and teaches the rest of us nothing.” — Denis Diderot
