Floral anatomy and phylogenomics of the endemic Malagasy tree Fenerivia Diels. (Annonaceae)
Project summary:
"Fenerivia, an enigmatic Malagasy tree genus (11 species, Annonaceae), will be studied at the Paris herbarium to revise its taxonomy, sample leaves for phylogenomic reconstruction, and be train in floral anatomy to study its unique morphology. This visit will be crucial for advancing my PhD on Madagascar botany and taxonomy."
