Diversification of Adesmia DC. and the role of the Andes in shaping morphology and biogeography on plant evolution

Project summary:

We aim to use phylogenomics to reconstruct a robust, well-sampled time-tree of Adesmia (Leguminosae) that we will use to: understand the evolution of spines and spinescent inflorescences in the genus, complement the current knowledge of Southern Andes biogeography, and present a new monophyletic infrageneric classification to the genus.
