Systematics of Ruellia (Acanthaceae) in southern South America.

1993-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Ruellia comprises 23 species in southern South America, which display great diversification in flower and inflorescence morphology, presumably associated with a wide array of pollinators; this has resulted in the evolution of many different floral syndromes. It is suggested that this diversification could have evolved through heterochronic developmental changes associated with cleistogamy that produce morphologica...
