Systematic and Conservation Studies in Forsteronia (Apocynaceae, Mesechiteae)
Project summary:
The project aims to advance systematic and conservation knowledge on the Neotropical genus Forsteronia. Through extensive herbarium revisions, fieldwork, and molecular approaches, we aim to publish a botanical monograph, establish the first molecular phylogeny for the genus, and evaluate the conservation status of its species.
