Phylogeny and Systematics of Asplenium mucronatum clade (Aspleniaceae)
Project summary:
Asplenium is the most species-rich fern genera occurring worldwide, with 75 species in Brazil, 63 occurring preferably along the Atlantic Forest of South and Southeast, a neotropical hotspot. Species from the Southeastern Brazil are not covered in global phylogenies for the family, and in a previous unpublished study, we discovered a new clade endemic to the Southeastern Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Therefore, the objective of this study is to monograph the newly discovered Asplenium mucronatum clade and produce a phylogenetic hypothesis of the relationships within its species and relatives.
