Advancing in the understanding of morphological and biogeographical traits in the Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae)
Project summary:
We aim to investigate the morphology and distribution of Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae) through the analysis of herbarium specimens housed at US, complementing the review of existing literature. The findings will establish a foundational framework for ongoing systematic studies of one of the most complex groups among the Euphorbiaceae.
