Molecular and morphological data for species delimitation in Otatea acuminata species complex (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Guaduinae)
Project summary:
According to fieldwork observations and herbaria collections is possible that Otatea acuminata is a species complex. I will compile and analyze molecular and morphological (including micromorphological and anatomical) data from 16 populations collected across Mexico and test if O. acuminata can be segregated in two or more species.
