TAXONOMY, BIOGEOGRAPHY AND CONSERVATION OF DENDROPHTHORA
GENUS (SANTALACEAE-VISCIEAE) IN CUBA
Project summary:
This research aims to conduct a taxonomic revision of the Dendrophthora genus (Santalaceae) in Cuba through morphological and anatomical analysis and evaluate their conservation status. The study involves examining specimens across multiple herbaria, analyzing species complexes, and developing conservation strategies. A one-month research stay in Paris will enable critical specimen examination.
