Integrative approach to identify informative characters in the taxonomy of Sacoila (Orchidaceae) and clarify the identity of Sacoila hassleri, an obscure species from the Chaco in South America
Project summary:
Through an integrative approach (morphology, anatomy and molecular phylogenetics) I hope to identify useful characters in the characterization and delimitation of Sacoila species, and clarify the identity of S. hassleri, contributing to the taxonomy of the genus and the knowledge of the Flora of Chaco and of Brazil.
