The proposed U.S.-Brazil planning visit will allow the U.S. PIs Drs. Lisa Campbell and Damon Little (New York Botanical Garden) to plan an interdisciplinary, collaborative research program on the systematics of Xyridaceae with Brazilian collaborator Dr. Maria Das Gracas Lapa Wanderley from the Instituto de Botanica de Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Xyridaceae are a small family of flowering plants, common in wetlands in many parts of the world. They have never been studied thoroughly; current knowledge is based on fragmentary and local studies. Meeting in person will provide a venue for effectively communicating details regarding responsibilities for data gathering and analysis, research expenses, and dissemination of anticipated results. The planning visit aims to propose research that will produce a classification based on evolutionary relationships and on sound taxonomy. These are essential for meaningful studies on the biology and ecology of Xyridaceae. Furthermore insight into the diversity of this lineage will be critical in formulating conservation priorities.

拟议的美国-巴西计划访问将使美国 PI 博士。 Lisa Campbell 和 Damon Little（纽约植物园）将与来自巴西圣保罗植物研究所的巴西合作者 Maria Das Gracas Lapa Wanderley 博士一起计划一项关于 Xyridaceae 系统学的跨学科合作研究项目。 Xyridaceae 是开花植物的一个小科，常见于世界许多地方的湿地。 它们从未被彻底研究过；目前的知识是基于零碎的和局部的研究。 面对面会议将为有效沟通有关数据收集和分析责任、研究费用和预期结果传播的细节提供场所。 这次计划访问的目的是提出研究，以产生基于进化关系和合理分类学的分类。 这些对于 Xyridaceae 的生物学和生态学的有意义的研究至关重要。 此外，深入了解这一谱系的多样性对于制定保护优先事项至关重要。
