Systematics, morphological and genetic variability of the South American species complex of Praxelis clematidea (Asteraceae, Eupatorieae)
Project summary:
The taxonomic complex of Praxelis clematidea includes four species with unclear morphological circumscription. This project aims to analyze morphology and genetic variability to shed light on this complex, a necessary starting point to understand the genus and South American Eupatorieae diversity, and to plan future conservation and invasion detection projects.
