Stem and leaf anatomy in the context of the diversity of Baccharis (Asteraceae)
Project summary:
Baccharis is a highly diverse American genus. The project aims to explore the anatomical diversity within the genus, identifying characters to improve the characterization of the infrageneric taxa and mapping evolutionary patterns that have allowed the group to attain its wide geographic distribution and morphological variation.
