Hi, I'm Culi (they/them). I studied math and really like plants and program for $$$.

One type of contribution I commonly make is adding phylogenetic cladograms to plant species pages to show a plant's closest living relatives. Oftentimes when information is missing about a plant it can be helpful to look at close relatives and the consistency of a given trait amongst them. They usually look something like this:

a section of Solanum
Solanum

(1,225 other Solanum species)

S. ptychanthum (black nightshade) — North America, South America

S. tredecimgranum

S. americanum (glossy nightshade) — Americas, Melanesia, New Guinea, and Australia

S. nigrum (European nightshade) — Europe, Asia, Macaronesia, and the North Africa

S. opacum (greenberry nightshade or morelle verte) — Taiwan to New Zealand and Pacific

S. chenopodioides (whitetip nightshade) — Argentina to Peru

S. scabrum (garden huckleberry or mnavu) — Africa, Indian Ocean

S. retroflexum

S. villosum (hairy nightshade, golden pearls) — Euro-Siberian, Irano-Turanian and Mediterranean regions worldwide

S. annuum (Bolivia to Northern Argentina)

S. fiebrigii (Peru to NW Argentina)

S. enantiophyllanthum (SE Brazil)

S. pallidum (Bolivia, Peru)

S. physalifolium (hoe nightshade) — NW Argentina, Bolivia, Peru

Jaltomata (73 species)

What else I do

[edit]

I like to do a lot of research on plants that are native or local to where I'm currently living. I find a lot of niche or old books so I find a lot of information in them that I don't see on their Wikipedia pages. If I get a rare book that cannot be found online, I try to update information from it on Wikipedia pages because I know it'd be hard to get that information otherwise.

I've also been working on a blog that I might plug eventually if I get it in nice shape. I write about leftist theory, anthropology, ecology, voting methods and social choice theory, critiques of capitalism and European culture, evolution, mycorrhizal fungi, the commons, crowd source technologies, cryptography, indigenous thought, soil, permaculture, plants, building dual power, climate change, and more. I am by no means an expert in any of these and I usually try to be provocative so if you actually are knowledgeable about any of this and wanna get annoyed, check it out if I've posted my blog yet.
