Project

Evolution en phylogeny of lianas in the genus Hydrangea sensu lato (Hydrangeaceae). A biomechanical, morphological and anatomical study in the framework of a molecular phylogeny

This project will 1) show the phylogenetic relationships between the taxa of the tribe Hydrangeeae, based on micromorphological and molecular studies, 2) revise the American Hyrangea section Cornidia based on material to be collected in the wild, and 3) obtain insight in the evolution of growth forms in the tribe Hydragneeae based on biomechanical and anatomical studies.
