Systematics and biogeography of Hyptidinae (Ocimeae, Lamiaceae) focusing on Oocephalus, a predominantly endemic genus of campos rupestres.

Project summary:

This present project aims to provide a systematic and biogeographic study of subtribe Hyptidinae using Oocephalus as a model. A phylogenetic analysis using plastidial data with a biogeographic approach will be made to a better understanding of the genus relationship within the subtribe and how this group diversified through Neotropics.
