Taxonomic revision of Bernardia bifid style clade (Euphorbiaceae), a mostly South American group with a large morphological heterogeneity
Project summary:
This project is part of my PhD thesis and aims to visit the European herbaria where type specimens of key species are deposited in order to be able to produce a complete taxonomic revision of the Bernardia species belonging to the bifid style clade (most South American species of Bernardia).
