Systematics, biogeography and anatomy of Oocephalus (Hyptidinae, Lamiaceae)
Project summary:
The Hyptidinae subtribe, Ocimeae tribe and subfamily Nepetoideae (Lamiaceae), has its
predominance occurrence in the Neotropical region, with only two species extending its range to
Africa (Harley et al. 2004). The first phylogeny of Hyptidinae (Pastore et al. 2011) proved its
monophyly but also has shown that the genus Hyptis Jacq. was seriously paraphyletic. Based on the
molecular information and morphological evidence, Harley & Pastore (2012) proposed a new generic
delimitation in the subtribe, elevating section of the genus Hyptis to generic level. Currently, the
subtribe has 19 genera and
