Under the supervision of faculty adviser Dr. Thomas Duncan,                student Richard Lis will conduct field work in Mexico and                       Central America to acquire samples of the 15-20 species of the                  rosaceous genus Holodiscus. Leaves of these plants will supply a                majority of characters for a taxonomic analysis of relationships                among these species. The data will be accumulated using image                   analysis, a new computer method of data acquisition. Leaf                       characters will be supplemented with additional characters from                 flowers and fruits, which have not been thoroughly surveyed                     previously. Flower buds and shoot apices will be preserved for                  chromosome analyses. This will be the first study of this                       montane genus to utilize a variety of lines of evidence to                      provide consistent circumscriptions of the taxa, to construct                   reliable identification keys to the species, and to map the                     geographic distributions of the plants.
