Graduate student Ramirez-Domenech proposes a study of the                  floral development of the mimosoids, a subfamily of tropical                    legumes.  Scanning electron microscope studies will reveal the                  organ of initiation and pattern of growth of floral parts, which                can then be used to help define and distinguish species and                     genera.  Trends in the patterns of floral development may also                  prove useful in reconstructing ancestor-descendant relationships.                    The proposed research constitutes a completely new line of                 inquiry into the systematics and evolution of the Mimosoideae.                  The project may encourage other botanists to explore                            developmental morphology for new information concerning                         classification and evolution.
