Diversity and conservation of the genus Ruellia (Acanthaceae) in Madagascar
Project summary:
Ruellia (Acanthaceae) is one of the least studied plant lineages in Madagascar. My Ph.D. research focusses on doing taxonomic revision, exploring evolutionary history of Ruellia in Madagascar. Visiting the Paris herbarium will enable me to conduct detailed morphological analyses and take precise measurements of type specimens essential for this work.
