Taxonomic Revision of Linaceae DC. ex Perleb and Ixonanthaceae Planch. ex Miq. for Brazil
Project summary:
Linaceae and Ixonanthaceae are two very poorly known angiosperm families of difficult characterization due to its morphological diversity and lack of taxonomic treatments and specialists. The objective of this work is to analyze specimens of main collections, contributing with Flora do Brasil 2020 and scientific production of the taxa.
