W. John Hayden

Professor of Biology

University of Richmond

Richmond, VA 23173 USA

I am a botanist with interests in the morphology, anatomy, and systematics of plants. My research concerns plants of the family Euphorbiaceae, Virginia flora, and, most recently, Yucatan ethnobotany and floristics. In addition to my regular duties as a faculty member, I curate the University of Richmond Herbarium (URV) and I am primary care provider for the plants in the Department of Biology greenhouses. My hobbies include gardening, photography, classical guitar, and restoring Bruno, my 1952 International Harvester pick-up truck.
