Phylogeny and Taxonomic revision of Thismiaceae in the Neotropical region

Project summary:

This project seeks to partially fill the knowledge gaps for Thismiaceae by (1) providing comprehensive taxonomic data for species occurring in the Neotropical region, and (2) reconstructing their phylogenetic relationships to test the hypothesis that Thismia from Neotropical region is distinct from congeners from Asia, using Hyb-Seq technique.
