An integrative approach to disentangle the diversity of Mimosa L. genus (mimosoid clade, Fabaceae) in Pampa grasslands, South America

Project summary:

Mimosa is a rich and morphologically variable genus with a complex taxonomy. In my thesis, I have been looking for new morphological features, the application of multiple perspectives such as anatomy, cytology; and ecology to delimit Mimosa species in the South America grasslands.
