Phylogenetic systematics and floral evolution in Plumerieae (Rauvolfioideae, Apocynaceae)
Project summary:
This project investigates the phylogenetic systematics and floral evolution of the tribe Plumerieae (Apocynaceae) by integrating phylogenomic, morphological, and anatomical data. Through fieldwork, herbarium research, and comparative analyses, it aims to clarify generic boundaries, document floral diversity, identify undescribed lineages, and provide a robust framework for evolutionary and taxonomic studies of the group.
