Cytogeography and morphological characterisation of a taxonomic, polyploid complex of Mimosa (Leguminosae) from subtropical South America

Mimosa subseries Dolentes Barneby and Brevipedes Barneby are ecologically and morphologically high-diversified infrageneric taxa of this genus in southern South America. We performed a cytogenetical and morphological analysis of both subseries. Chromosome numbers from accessions throughout the area...
