Taxonomic synopsis of the genus Macrolobium Schreber (Detarioideae, Fabaceae) in Colombia
Project summary:
I aim to perform the first taxonomic treatment of Macrolobium in Colombia. Macrolobium is the largest genus in Neotropical Detarioideae and 50% of its species are native to Colombia. I will also confirm 15 putatively undescribed species. Visiting MO and US herbaria will significantly improve the results of my research.
