Systematics, biogeography and character evolution of the genus Leea (Leeoideae: Vitaceae) with special emphasis on Indian species.
Project summary:
The objective of this study is to provide insights into the taxonomy of genus Leea and elucidate its evolutionary relationships, biogeographic patterns and character evolution with the help of phylogenetic tools and techniques. The designed study will be carried out using taxonomic methods, herbarium consultation, micro-morphological observations, and phylogenetic analysis.
