Integrative taxonomic analysis of Cuban species of Magnolia subsect. Talauma (Magnoliaceae)
Project summary:
The use of traditional taxonomy seems to not be enough to separate the species of the subsection Talauma in Cuba. That is why we are planning to delimitate the three species of the group integrating morphology, ecological niche, population genetics and phylogeny.
