Khaya revisited: Genetic markers and morphological analysis reveal six species in the widespread
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/119493
Abstract
Khaya (Meliaceae) is a widespread genus of trees distributed from the tropical forests of Africa to Madagascar and the Comoros. Khaya species are very close morphologically and some contain considerable phenotypic and ecological diversity, raising the question of their delimitation: this is the case of Khaya anthotheca s.l. (sensu lato, including K. nyasica), which is often lumped with K.…
