• Abstract

  This proposal is focused on the research projects which have been currently developed by the proponent Milton Groppo, their colaborators and their students at Laboratory of Plant Systematics, FFCLRP-USP. The main idea is the understanding of systematics and evolution in an integrative way, which involves alpha taxonomy (such as taxonomic revisions and flora surveys), phylogenetic and biog…

  Integrative systematic studies in Neotropical families, with emphasis on Rutaceae, Asteraceae and Rubiaceae, AP.R

• Abstract

  The present project aims to perform a cladistic analysis of the genus Rudgea (Rubiaceae) based in molecular data and also to carry through a synopsis for the genus, allied to an evolutionary analysis of its morphological characters. Rudgea is an exclusively neotropical genus, with ca. 100 species, distributed from Mexico until Argentina with two main centers of diversity, in Western porti…

• Abstract

  Subtribe Galipeinae (tribe Galipeae) is the largest taxonomic group of the family Rutaceae, with ca. 26 exclusively neotropical genera and 160 species. Of these, ca. 120 species (22 genera) occur in Brazil, 45 (43 Brazilians) belonging to Conchocarpus. With such a diversity, there are problems in the generic delimitation of some groups, the genera defined for limited joint of character st…

• Abstract

  The diversity of plant species in the State of Bahia is extremely high, having been estimated at around 10,000 species for Angiosperms alone. Located in the northeastern region, this state occupies approximately 6.6% of the Brazilian territory. Botanists are currently developing a project called "Flora of Bahia", coordinated by researchers from that state, which aims to raise the flora of…
