Novelties in the embryology of <i>Parodia</i> (Cactaceae) and its potential application to the genus taxonomy
The observation of exclusive features in these species allowed the application of the data to one of the less inclusive circumscriptions, in which Acanthocephala, Brasiliparodia, Eriocephala, Notocactus, Parodia and Wigginsia are considered distinct but related genera. In addition, the embryological data also demonstrated potential use as a tool in understanding the reasons that may cause the population decline of critically endangered species.
