He has worked closely with other Indian pteridologists and more widely internationally. He has always been a ready source of advice on the identification of ferns, and he is an Honorary Member of the British Pteridological Society and the Honorary Patron of the Exotic Fern Group. Born in South Wales, he currently lives between Portugal and the UK, having moved from Nepal.
