The project aims to comprehensively study Frullania, a diverse liverwort genus in the tropical Andes, addressing taxonomic challenges and enhancing understanding of its diversity and distribution. It involves taxonomic revisions, morphological comparisons, and collaboration with institutions like the Field Museum of Natural History and the Missouri Botanical Garden. Through examination of herbarium material, which also includes types, the project seeks to update species descriptions, resolve taxonomic issues, and contribute to scientific knowledge of this genus in the Andean region.
