Taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of Callitriche (Plantaginaceae) in India
Project summary:
Callitriche L. is a genus of largely aquatic plants of the family Plantaginaceae, comprising of 75 species. I am studying the genus for the past 3 years and extensively explored various parts of southern Western Ghats. My project aims to revise the genus for India and to resolve taxonomic relationships among Indian species.
