Daniel Atha & Sheranza Alli

Teaches at New York Botanical Garden

Daniel Atha is the Conservation Program Manager at The New York Botanical Garden. He has conducted botanical field work in all 50 states of the US as well as Vietnam, Bolivia, Mexico, Belize, and several states of the former Soviet Union. 

His work is focused on three areas: floristics—what plants grow in a particular region; taxonomy—how to tell one plant from another, what to call it and what it's related to; and applied botany—how plants are used for food, medicine, shelter and other useful purposes. He is an associate editor of the Garden's systematic botany journal, Brittonia, and holds a Bachelor of Arts from the City University of New York.

Sheranza Alli
has worked in the New York Botanical Garden Herbarium for more than 20 years. Arriving in New York from Guyana, she quickly learned the technique of mounting specimens. Now a senior mounter, Sheranza has completed about 250,000 herbarium specimens and has worked with every type of plant collected by NYBG's botanists
