Hymenaea, Guibourtia and Peltogyne are part of the Hymenaea clade and they present interesting taxonomic challenges and biogeographical patterns. This study presents karyotype data (chromosome numbers and CMA/DAPI banding) from representatives of these genera and some preliminary evidences for an improvement of taxonomy and biodiversity knowledge of the group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
