Systematic studies of Senna ser. Bacillares (Benth.) H.S. Irwin & Barneby (Leguminosae,
Caesalpinioideae): molecular phylogeny, biogeography, and taxonomic revision
Project summary:
Although Senna (Leguminosae) is a speciose genus, few studies addressed its systematics in recent decades and a lot of gaps of knowledge remain. In this sense, this thesis aims to carry out a molecular phylogeny, biogeography and taxonomic revision of Senna ser. Bacillares, the largest series of the genus.
