Systematics and Biogeography of Begonia in the Philippines with emphasis on section Petermannia on the island of Mindanao
Project summary:
The polyphyletic Begonia section Petermannia presents one of the biggest obstacles to the taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus Begonia. Unfortunately, only a small number of species—particularly those from the Philippines—have been inferred phylogenetically thus far. Therefore, the proposed study aims to conduct systematic research on Philippine Begonia section Petermannia which involves taxonomic, phylogenomic, and biogeographic analyses.
