Exploring extra-Brazilian species of Dalechampia: A Taxonomic and Biogeographic Approach to help Understanding the Diversity and Distribution of the genus

Project summary:

This project aims to collect morphological and distribution data from specimens of Dalechampia housed at US due to its high representativeness for extra-Brazilian taxa, as part of ongoing reevaluation of the infrageneric relationships and investigation of the evolutionary history of the genus based on phylogenomic data.
