Systematics of the Neotropical Sigmoid-keel clade (Leguminosae)
Project summary:
This project aims to complete the taxonomic revision and geographic sampling of the Sigmoid-keel clade (Phaseolinae) in Brazil through herbarium revision and targeted fieldwork. By integrating morphological, nomenclatural, and molecular data, it will enable phylogenetic analyses and the description of new species.
