Phylogeny and taxonomic revision of Luehea and Lueheopsis (Malvaceae; Grewioideae)

Project summary:

Complete taxonomic study on the neotropical genera Luehea and Lueheopsis, to broaden the knowledge of this little-studied group, clarifying the evolutionary relationships between the two genera and individual taxa with molecular analysis. The objective will be to produce an updated monograph with descriptions, distributions, identification keys and conservation status.
