A synopsis of the genus Octopoma N.E.Br. (Ruschioideae) using morphology, 5S NTS and psbA - trnH spacer regions
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThe genus Octopoma N. Br. is nested within the Ruschioideae in Aizoaceae. It has been thought that eight species make up the genus. The classification was based mainly on the possession of eight locules. This study was, therefore, undertaken to test the monophyly of the genus, and to draw up new taxonomic circumscriptions.
