Systematics and Evolution of Baccharis L. section Caulopterae DC. s.s. (Asteraceae: Astereae)
Taxonomy, Evolution, and Biogeography of Baccharis L. sect. Caulopterae s.s.
Project summary:
Baccharis sect. Caulopterae s.s. as currently circumscribed is a group of 17 species, most easily identifiable by their winged stems and 12-20-ribbed cypselae. My research project aims at understanding the Systematics of Baccharis sect. Caulopterae s.s., by means of carrying out a detailed taxonomic study, phylogenetic analyses based on genomic methods, and temporal and biogeographical studies.
