Molecular support to species integrity of the Alstroemeria pulchra Sims (Alstroemeriaceae) complex and its infraspecific taxa

Project summary:

A study will be carried out to estimate the taxonomic integrity of the Alstroemeria pulchra complex and its infraspecific taxa (A. pulchra var. pulchra, A. pulchra var. maxima, and A. pulchra subsp. lavandulacea) using Mig-seq (NGS) and to complementing the hypotheses of delimitation provided by morphometric and colorimetric floral data
