Systematics of Paepalanthus ser. Dimeri (Eriocaulaceae)
Project summary:
This proposal aims to revise the taxonomy of Paepalanthus ser. Dimeri. Both living and herbarium specimens will be analyzed, employing molecular techniques such as phylogenomics. Through multi-institutional collaboration, the species will be better circumscribed and their conservation status determined.
