Taxonomic revision and phylogeny of genus Elatostema (Urticaceae), an overlooked genus with high morphological heterogeneity
Project summary:
Understanding the importance of biological collection to solve taxonomic and nomenclatural complexities, this project aims at documentation, discovery and conservation of Elatostema, a taxon neglected by Indian taxonomists for the past 133 years. The project seeks to provide a strong taxonomic framework supported by molecular data.
