Systematics and biogeography of Caperonia (Euphorbiaceae), a neglected and potentially diverse genus in the Amazon region
Project summary:
Discovering the true diversity of Caperonia in the Amazon region, along with its phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic history, is the focus of this study. We plan to accomplish this by reviewing the main herbarium collections from the Brazilian Amazon and by conducting fieldwork to sample new phylogenetic terminals and to reveal possible new species and occurrences in this area. Caperonia is only found in damp environments, making the Amazon a perfect home for plants, yet this aspect has received surprisingly little attention from scientists.
