Spiradiclis densa sp. nov. (Rubiaceae) from limestone areas in Guangxi,China

A new species of Rubiaceae, Spiradiclis densa, is described and illustrated from southwestern China. It is similar to S. tomentosa, but differs in the elliptic or oblong leaf blades, distylous flowers and inner sides of corolla tube with dense pubescence near throat. The conservation status of the new species is preliminarily assessed as ‘Vulnerable’ according to IUCN categories and criteria.     

螺序草属(茜草科)的花粉形态

首次对螺序草属(Spiradiclis B1.)的11种和1变型共16份植物的花粉样品在光镜和电镜下进行了观察。结果表明,本属植物花粉为单粒,小型和中型花粉,近球形至椭球形,辐射对称,常具3孔沟,偶为4孔沟,外壁表面纹饰为孔状。花粉外壁由不连续的具穿孔的覆盖层、柱状结构和基层组成,内外壁明显。此外,本属植物的花粉具有花粉2型和“芽状”结构的现象。螺序草属植物的花粉形态在属下分类上有一定的局限性,但是在个体的系统发育上却可以提供极有价值的信息,如具有花粉单型的种类比花粉二型的种类进化。     

Spiradiclis lui,a new species of Rubiaceae from Guangxi,China

Spiradiclis lui, a new species of Rubiaceae growing inside limestone caves and on wet shaded limestone walls in Guangxi, southwestern China is here described as most similar to S. umbelliformis, but differing from the latter in its glabrous stems, ovate or oval leaf blades, and the position of stamens and stigmas inside corollas. The conservation status of the novelity is asessed as ‘Vulnerable’ (VU) according to the IUCN red list categories and criteria. A diagnostic key to the species of Spiradiclis with corolla tubes longer than 12 mm is also provided.     

螺序草属（茜草科）的种子形态

对螺序草属(Spiradiclis B1、)16种2变型共18个样品的种子形态特征的初步研究表明,本属植物种子为小型（0．2—0、3mm)或中型(0．3—2mm),整体形状不太规则,表面纹饰为蜂窝状,种脐稍突出。种子的外壁由内外2层种皮组成。依据表面突起分布方式,螺序草属的种子大致分为2种类型：(1)平周壁微下陷,疣突均匀分布于其上,如大叶螺序草、螺序草、尖叶螺序草、柳叶螺序草、峨嵋螺序草和龙州螺序草;(2)平周壁下陷成穴状,突起分布在穴边缘,如红花螺序草、心叶螺序草、两广螺序草、广东螺序草、海南螺序草、宽昭螺序草、疏花螺序草、多枝螺序草、罗氏螺序草、小叶螺序草、石生螺序草和紫花螺序草。螺序草属的种子形态特征对属下类群的划分具有重要的参考价值。

茜草科螺序草属一新种——阳春螺序草(英文稿)

描述了自广东省发现的茜草科一新种——阳春螺序草,其与宽昭螺序草相似,两者均具有半木质化的茎、披针形的叶片、线状的苞片和小苞片以及高脚碟形的花冠,但本种因茎叶无毛、花序蝎尾状、花萼裂片小三角形、长柱花的雄蕊着生位置更近于花冠管基部等特征而不同于后者.目前阳春螺序草仅在其模式种产地发现一个不足200株的居群,根据IUCN评价标准,其应处于濒危(EN)等级.
