Systematics of Philippine Cyrtandra J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. (Gesneriaceae)

Project summary:

The project entitled Systematics of Philippine Cyrtandra J.R.Forst. & G.Forst. (Gesneriaceae) is the PhD project of the author. The project aims to: (1) conduct a taxonomic revision of Philippine Cyrtandra; (2) utilize molecular phylogenetic analyses to resolve evolutionary species relationships and to examine their rich assembly; and, (3) perform analyses of biogeography and evolutionary dynamics. The grant money is planned to be used for herbarium visits and fieldwork in the Philippines particularly in the island of Mindanao where sampling has been scarce. Fieldwork will be in coordination C
