DESCRIPTION:<p>	<strong>Pablo Moroni<br>Postdoctoral Fellow<br>Instituto de Botánica Darwinion</strong></p><p>	<strong>Title</strong>: <span>Stirring up a hornet’s nest: Taxonomic revision of <em>Cryptantha </em>Lehm. ex G.Don, an intriguing genus from the Boraginaceae s. str.<!--break--></span></p><p>	<span><strong>Abstract</strong>: </span>Boraginaceae s. str. are widely distributed, mainly in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions, with a high number of poorly studied taxa in the Americas. Since 2019 I have been working on the order Boraginales for the Flora Argentina project; this time has been formative, and has instilled in me a lifelong passion for this lineage of flowering plants. The Flora Argentina project encouraged me to work on the poorly studied tribe Amsinckiinae (Boraginaceae s.str.), focusing on <em>Cryptantha </em>Lehm. ex G. Don, a genus endemic to the New World that, even when has been known to botanists since the 19th century, remains still in a preliminary stage --probably due to its simplified morphology, complex taxonomy and nomenclature, and partially resolved phylogeny. In light of this, the knowledge of “<em>one of the largest and most perplexing genera of the Boraginaceae</em>” (Johnston, 1927) still remains at the preliminary stage. In this context, I will expose the knowledge obtained so far, and the challenges still to be solved in order to contribute a modern treatment of <em>Cryptantha</em>.</p><p>	<strong>Join via Zoom livestream: <a href="https://harvard.zoom.us/j/96367794053?pwd=VlRsOHp4bCs1OFR5dHVRRU93TG1RZz09">https://bit.ly/3IFHI2B</a></strong></p><p>	 </p>
