云南保山盆地新近纪云杉属针叶化石及其古海拔指示意义

松科(Pinaceae)云杉属(Picea A. Dietrich)花粉化石记录丰富,大化石则以木材和球果居多,而针叶化石报道较少且缺少微形态研究。云南保山盆地新近纪羊邑组产大量三维立体保存的云杉属针叶化石。这些针叶化石呈扁平条形,叶尖急尖,叶基截形,无叶柄;上表面中脉隆起,中脉两侧各有一个气孔带,每个气孔带有5–6条气孔线,气孔线多连续,少数不连续,气孔呈椭圆形至长椭圆形,非气孔带表皮细胞矩形至长矩形,细胞壁波浪状弯曲;下表面中脉亦隆起,无气孔,表皮细胞多为矩形至长矩形,细胞壁波浪状弯曲。通过与现生云杉属针叶的宏观形态和微形态对比发现,该化石与油麦吊云杉(Picea brachytyla var. complanata(Mast.) W. C. Chengex Rehder)在形态上最为相似。但由于缺少其他植物器官(如球果),难以判断化石是否真正代表了这个现生种,因此,将其暂定为似油麦吊云杉。基于云杉属在青藏高原东南缘的海拔分布范围(2000–4000 m),以及考虑到新近纪比现在更为温暖的气候环境,推测保山盆地在新近纪时期具有比现在(1650 m)更高的海拔。该推断进一步丰富了青藏...

落羽杉属(杉科)叶表皮结构及气孔参数

落羽杉属Taxodium Rich.现生3种植物——落羽杉T. distichum (L.) Rich.、池杉T. ascendens Brongn.和墨西哥落羽杉T. mucronatum Tenore.的条形叶为双面气孔型或单面气孔型。叶片远轴面气孔分布于中脉两侧,每侧各有4-8列气孔。叶片中部气孔数量稳定,顶部和基部气孔数量比中部略少。近轴面气孔在中脉两侧各有1-4行,有时仅少数几个气孔或没有气孔分布。非气孔分布区内,表皮细胞长方形,细胞壁直或稍微呈波状,细胞长轴与叶片长轴一致。气孔分布区内的表皮细胞有时为多边形。气孔器椭圆形,长轴与叶片长轴垂直或成一定的角度。保卫细胞壁加厚明显,极端联合形成极层结构。落羽杉属3种现生植物的气孔密度和气孔指数差异显著,不同采集地的落羽杉气孔密度和气孔指数差异不显著。这3种植物的气孔指数的变异系数均小于气孔密度的变异系数,用气孔指数指示大气CO2浓度比用气孔密度可靠。     

福建漳浦中中新世几种藓类植物研究北大核心

亚洲新生代藓类植物化石非常稀少,漳浦琥珀是目前已知的我国低纬度地区唯一含苔藓植物化石的新生代琥珀矿床。漳浦琥珀源自中中新世气候适宜期(~14-17 Ma)的龙脑香树脂,温暖潮湿的热带季雨林气候和广泛分布的龙脑香科植物,为藓类植物的生长、多样性演化和三维立体保存提供了条件。本研究共报道了漳浦县中中新世藓类植物化石3个属种,包括:白发藓属Leucobryum Hampe、牛舌藓属Anomodon Hook.et Taylor和扁枝藓属Homalia(Brid.)B.S.G.。首次利用三维X射线断层扫描技术(Micro-CT)研究了白发藓属化石,发现其与现生种短枝白发藓Leucobryum humillimum Cardot非常相似,因此将其命名为短枝白发藓(相似种)Leucobryum cf.humillimum。此外,当前牛舌藓属Anomodon和扁枝藓属Homalia化石是东亚地区的首例记录。漳浦琥珀中的藓类植物化石揭示了中中新世时期苔藓植物的多样性,丰富了东亚低纬度地区新生代苔藓植物的化石记录。

云南保山上新统黄背栎Quercus Pannosa Hand.-Mazz.角质层特征及古环境意义

在滇西保山上新统首次发现了黄背栎(Quercuspannosa)压型化石,并分析了角质层构造。其特征主要为:上表皮无气孔器,表皮细胞为不规则形五边形,垂周壁微弯曲,脉络为网格状,无毛基;下表皮具环列型气孔器,表皮细胞为不规则形五边形,垂周壁微弯曲,脉络为五边形的网格状,具毛基,毛的根部由多细胞组成,毛基部的细胞特化成辐射状。利用现存最近亲缘种(NLRspecies)原理,并比较化石和现生Q.pannosa角质层特征,推断上新世Q.pannosa在羊邑生长的古环境比现生Q.pannosa生存的冷湿气候相对干旱,且化石Q.pannosa为近原地埋藏。

The diversity and paleoenvironmental significance of Calophyllum (Clusiaceae) from the Miocene of southeastern China

Abstract

Three species within the genus Calophyllum collected from middle Miocene Fotan Group sediments in Zhangpu County, Fujian, southeastern China are described in this paper. These fossils include Calophyllum zhangpuensis sp. nov., Calophyllum striatum, and Calophyllum suraikholaensis. The new fossil species C. zhangpuensis sp. nov. is oval, possesses entire leaves with closely spaced parallel secondary veins and has a round, or slightly retuse, apex. These specimens represent the first known fossil records of this relative wide leaf-type form of Calophyllum from China and have a length:width (L:W) ratio less than 3:1. In combination with the known modern geographic distribution and habitats of this wide leaf-type Calophyllum and other plants, data suggest that the middle Miocene Fotan flora is indicative of a warm climate. Thus, based on available fossil data, we speculate that this genus probably originated in India during the Paleocene before spreading from India to Bangladesh and into China, Sumatra, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Java during the Neogene, leading to its modern distribution. At least, the 3 fossil species in this region can explain floristic exchange between India, Fujian, and South China, which is consistent with previous studies; the occurrence of these 3 species indicates that Calophyllum began to diversity in China no later than the Miocene.     

A new species of Macaranga from the middle Miocene of Fujian,China and its significance

A well-preserved Macaranga leaf fossil from the middle Miocene Fotan Group of Zhangpu County, Fujian, South-eastern China is examined and described as a new species, Macaranga zhangpuensis Z.X. Wang et B.N. Sun sp. nov. The present fossil species represents the highest latitudinal distribution of a reliable Macaranga fossil in the world, and we present the first Macaranga fossil described with detailed cuticular characteristics from China. Based on the global palaeogeographic distribution of Macaranga, we infer that the genus probably originated during the Oligocene in Africa and spread from Africa to India and then to South Fujian, China, further into the Mariana Islands and finally into the Philippine Islands and Malaysia, leading to its present distribution. In addition, the new leaf material described herein is the first Macaranga fossil record with three leaf tips globally. This finding demonstrates that Macaranga with three leaf tips already existed during the Miocene in Fujian, South China, and it provides new information for understanding climatic changes between the Miocene and the present -day.     

葡萄属一新名和一新种

描述了自甘肃南部发现的葡萄属一新种,文县蘡薁(Vitis wenxianensis W. T. Wang)。此新种与特产浙江的三出蘡薁[V. bryoniifolia Bunge var. ternata(W. T. Wang)C. L. Li]有很近的亲缘关系,二者可能是由蘡薁(V. bryoniifolia Bunge)衍生而出的一对姊妹群。基于上述认识,将三出蘡薁由变种提升至种的等级,但由于存在一个于1871年发表的种名(V. ternata Baker),因此,必须为三出蘡薁拟定一新名。     

LEAVES OF ARCHAEOSIGILLARIA VANUXEMII,A DEVONIAN LYCOPOD FROM NEW YORK

The leaf of mid Devonian Archaeosigillaria vanuxemii from Gilboa, N.Y. is known to have a thick conical base. This study demonstrates by the uncovering technique the attachment of leaves to the stem, the flattened lamina that is deltoid in outline with a toothed margin, and an apex prolonged into a hair. Comparisons are made with specimens from Kazakhstan. The morphology of leaves of other species of Archaeosigillaria and the slowly accumulating data on leaves of Devonian lycopods are discussed.

It is characterized mainly by short‐lanceolate to ovate‐lanceolate leaves with broadly acute to obtuse and strongly cucullate apex, leaf margins recurved throughout and bistratose in distal part, lamina red with KOH, costa ending below apex and usually spurred above midleaf, with guide cells in 2 layers below midleaf and without ventral stereids, and the presence of gemmae in the leaf axils. The new species is contrasted with similar species in the genus.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">Trigonostemon tuberculatus</Emphasis> (Euphorbiaceae), a peculiar new species from Yunnan Province,China

A new species of Euphorbiaceae, Trigonostemon tuberculatus, from Yuanjiang Xian, Yunnan Province, China is described and illustrated.
