Advancing in the understanding of morphological and biogeographical traits in the Hippomaneae (Euphorbiaceae)
Project summary:
This project contributes to filling a major sampling gap in the Euphorbiaceae Tree of Life by expanding phylogenomic and morphological knowledge of Hippomaneae. Through herbarium research at Kew and integration with molecular data from PAFTOL, it aims to resolve generic boundaries and improve understanding of evolutionary relationships within this complex tribe.
