The taxonomy and systematics of Hydnora: a genus of bizarre holoparasitic plants native to Africa
Project summary:
Hydnora is a genus of an extraordinary holoparasitic plants native to Africa. They are taxonomically challenging due to a lack of available morphological characters and a paucity of herbarium specimens. Through specimen collection and field sampling of fresh material, we aim to produce the first well-sampled molecular phylogeny for Hydnora.
