A taxonomical study on the genus Kengyilia Yen et J. L. Yang

Kengyilia Yen et J L Yang is a recently established genus in trib. Tritieeae of Poaceae. In this paper, this genus is taxonomically revised, and a new taxonomic system is presented. The new system includes 3 sections, 26 species and 6 varieties, of which 3 sections and 1 species are described as new, 7 taxa are treated respectively in the ways of new status or combination and reduction. Three new sections, sect. Kengyilia, sect. Stenachyra L. B. Cai and sect. Hyalolepis (Nevski) L. B. Cai, are differentiated by the length and width of spike, the growing position of spikelet, the relative length of glume, the colour of anther and so on. The sect. Kengyilia contains 9 species, distributed in northwestern China, extending westward to Kazakhstan, Kirghizia, Tadzhikistan, Afghanistan and Iran; the sect. Stenachyra L. B. Cai comprises 10 species and 3 verieties, distributed in western China, mainly in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau; and the sect. Hyalolepis (Nevski) L. B. Cai consists of about 7 species and 3 varieties, distributed in western China, extending westward to Kirghizia and Tadzhikistan. Twenty-six species of Kengyilia are recognized on the basis of the same criterion of specific concept, and the other taxa below the rank of species are also checked in terms of their external morphology. As a result, Kengyilia pen~ dula L. B. Cai is reported as a new species; K. hirsuta var. obviaristata L. B. Cai is raised to a species; K. melanthera (Keng) J. L. Yang, Yen et Baum is reduced to a variety under K. thoroldiana (Oliver) J. L. Yang, Yen et Baum; Roegneria hirsuta var. leiophylla Keng et S. L. Chen is reduced as a synonym of K. hirsuta var. hirsuta; Agropyron thoroldianum var. lasciusculum Melderis is reduced to K. grandiglumis (Keng et S. L. Chen) J. L. Yang, Yen et Baum; Roegneria rigidula var. intermedia Keng et S. L. Chen to K. rigidula (Keng et S. L. Chen) J. L. Yang, Yen et Baum; R. hirsuta var. variabilis Keng et S. L. Chen and R. rnelanthera var. tahopaica Keng et S. L. Chen to K. hirsuta (Keng et S. L. Chen)J. L. Yang, Yen et Baum. In addition, new records onthe geographical distributions of some taxa are also reported in this paper.     

杉科植物的分类学研究

本文对杉科植物的研究历史作了回顾,根据分支分类结果和表征分类结果,提出了一个新的分类系统.以形态学为依据,结合其他学科的研究成果,对杉科的分类作了订正。作者承认杉科植物共9属、12种及3变种,将杉木、厚皮杉木、德昌杉木和米德杉木归并,支持柳杉作为日本柳杉的变种、台湾杉木作为杉木的变种、秃杉和台湾杉归并的观点。     

伞花猕猴桃的分类学修订

在查阅猕猴桃属植物标本时,发现了伞花猕猴桃(Actinidia umbelloidesC.F.Liang)的新分布点,分布地点位于西藏和云南,补充了其花部特征的描述,并将扇叶猕猴桃(Actinidia umbelloidesC.F.Liang var.flabellifoliaC.F.Liang)作为伞花猕猴桃的异名处理。

云南猪屎豆属植物订正

属的分类概述1753年,C. Linnaeus建立了猪屎豆属(Crotalaria),一共记载了该属植物13种。Linnaeus关于该属的基本概念是:"Carina acuminata, longitudine alatum. Filamenta decem, connata, assurgentia. Antherae simplices. Style simplex, infrac-     

草苁蓉属(列当科)分类的研究

本文详细比较了草苁蓉属和丁座草属(Xylanche)植物的形态特征,并在扫描电镜下观察了它们的种皮纹饰。发现G.Beck(1890)建立丁座草属时所依据的花部性状并不可靠,这些性状,尤其是花萼分裂度和心皮数目,本身就有变异。因此,作者将丁座草属归并入草苁蓉属(Boschniakia)中。     

Amussiopecten baranensis (Almera & Bofill, 1897) =Amussiopecten destefanii (Ugolini, 1903), bivalve du Miocène de Catalogne: Remarques sur le genre Amussiopecten

The study of some recently sampled specimens of «Pecten galloprovincialis var. baranensisAlmera & Bofill, from the type-locality Bará (Tarragona), leads to rise this variety to a specific level. Amussiopecten baranensis (Almera & Bofill, 1897) is a senior synonym of Amussiopecten destefanii (Ugolini, 1903). The distinction between this species and Amusium cristatum (Bronn), which have been often confused, is more precisely defined. A. baranensis is polytypic, as proved by some morphotypes from other European localities (Gard and Landes in France, Sardinia). Its stratigraphic distribution is mainly Helvetian sensu lato or Middle Miocene.Signification and affinities of the genusAmussiopecten are also discussed. As a transitional form to Amusium, A. baranensis may contribute to clarify its taxinomic position, specially by means of microsculptural characteristics: a completed diagnosis is provisionally proposed.

中国-喜玛拉雅特有属——蓝钟花属的分类修订

Cyananthus Wallich ex Bentham, the only genus of Campanulaceae with superior ovary, is revised to clarify infrageneric relationships and phylogeny of the genus. Evidence obtained from the comparative gross morphology, anatomy, palynology, and karyomorpho-logy recommends a new infrageneric classification of the genus, recognizing 23 species, belonging to two subgenera, four sections and four subsections. One subgenus(Subgen. Mi-cranthus), one section(Sect. Suffruticulosi) and two subsections(Subsect. Flavi and Sub-sect. Lichiangenses)are described as new taxa. New combinations at sectional (Sect. Annui) and subsectional(Subsect. Stenolobi) ranks are also proposed. The genus Cyananthus is strictly distributed in the high mountains of China(Xizang, Yunnan and Sichuan), extending to Bhutan, Nepal and India (Kumaon-Garhwal, Assam and Sikkim), with altitudinal ranges from 2500 ~ 5300 m. It is observed that 13 species are endemic to SW China and only three species are endemic to the Himalayas( two species in Ne
