Toward an updated flora: Vietnamese pteridophytes type project
Project summary:
My project seeks to establish a robust foundation for future pterido-flora of Vietnam by collecting new topotypic materials and analyzing them using integrated modern methodologies. It encompasses herbarium studies, fieldwork, and laboratory research through international collaboration. This initiative will build a strong international network focused on tropical Asian flora.
