A systematic revision of the Uvaria L. group (Annonaceae) in Continental Asia

Abstract

The goal of this research project has been to complete a taxonomic revision of Uvaria L. (Annonaceae) and its affiliates in Continental Asia. Research was based primarily at the Trinity College Herbarium. Research visits were also made to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, London, The Natural History Museum, London, The Rijksherbarium, Leiden, The Herbarium of Utrecht University, Utrecht and the herbarium of the Museum Nationale D'Histoire Naturelle, Paris. A three month field expedition was made to Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore in 1998, and included field collecting and visits to all the main herbaria of each country. A research collection was assembled at TCD based on material from the Trinity College herbarium and material received on loan from institutes in Europe, North America and Asia.
