Systematics of Agarista (Ericaceae): phylogeny and taxonomic revision.
Project summary:
Agarista comprises 32 species. Its center of diversity is in the mountains of eastern Brazil, where 21 species occur (19 endemic). No recent taxonomic revision or phylogenetic hypothesis is available. I aim to provide a molecular phylogenetic hypothesis and taxonomic revision, evaluating morphological characters and clarifying evolutionary relationships.
