Systematic and taxonomic study of Philodendron sect. Baursia (Reichb. ex Schott) Engler (Araceae), with emphasis on species occurring in Brazil
Project summary:
This study investigates the systematics and taxonomy of Philodendron sect. Baursia in Brazil. It combines field collections, morphological analysis, and MIG-seq phylogenomics to test monophyly, identify diagnostic traits, map distributions, and assess conservation status. The research aims to produce taxonomic keys, descriptions, and insights into biodiversity, endemism, and species conservation.
