Towards a Taxonomic Revision of the Tropical Blueberries (Vaccinium L., Ericaceae) of the Philippines
Project summary:
Vaccinium is the most speciose plant group in the Ericaceae of the Philippines. There are currently 37 species recognized for the country. The most comprehensive treatments for this genus in the Philippines all suffer from poorly justified synonymization of many names and the recognition of numerous vaguely defined varieties. There is also a lack of focus in those treatments on the variation in several characters that are now known to be taxonomically informative. For these reasons that I propose to clarify the species taxonomy of Philippine Vaccinium through a complete taxonomical revision.
