Cytotaxonomy of the polyploid complex of Herbertia lahue (Molina) Goldblat

Project summary:

H.lahue presents wide variation in floral morphology, reproductive mode, ecological and karyological aspects. This species is widely distributed in Southern and Northern America, the wich cytotypes coexist in sympatry. We will use multiple approaches to along the distribution will provide insights to access species boundaries in H.lahue in a context of integrative taxonomy.
