Systematic of Aguiaria, Catostemma and Scleronema (Malvaceae; Bombacoideae)
Project summary:
Present a taxonomic revision of Aguiaria, Catostemma and Scleronema, supported by a well-sampled molecular phylogeny. Test the monophyly and the relationship between these three genera, based on molecular data and supported by the evolution of selected morphological characters. Reevaluate species’ boundaries, recognizing diagnostic features and the species’ geographical distribution.
