Revealing the citrus family’s diversity in Colombia: taxonomic synopsis of Rutaceae
Project summary:
I am performing the first taxonomic treatment of Rutaceae in Colombia, a high-diverse country in this family. I will generate resources for documenting this diversity such as descriptions, keys, illustrations, maps, annotation on specimens, and conservation assessments. I will also document an interesting relationship between Colombian Rutaceae and karst landscapes.
