中国连香树科的系统研究——Ⅰ.叶的宏观结构及叶柄维管束变化

本文研究了连香树科(Cercidiphyllaceae)叶的宏观结构,首次报道连香树齿腺体显微结构及晶体类型,并对叶柄维管束的变化作了进一步研究。通过与近缘科的比较,我们认为连香树科的系统演化处于孤立地位,和金缕梅科有较近的亲缘关系,与木兰科较为疏远。     

国产柳属繁柳组植物叶脉序研究及其分类学意义

采取脉络法,对柳属（Salix）繁柳组（Sect.Denticulatae C.K.Schneid.）17种及1变种进行叶片脉序观察。结果表明：繁柳组植物叶脉序类型均为直行羽状脉,表现出较高的一致性。该组植物均有二级间脉,但类型各有不同;三级脉及较高级脉序大体有三种类型;网眼发育完善或不完善;盲脉偶有不分枝;不同种之间网眼的发育以及盲脉分枝具有显著差异,是有价值的分类性状。根据聚类分析,繁柳组植物叶脉序分为两种类型：草地柳（S.praticola Hand.-Mazz.ex Enander）类型及腹毛柳（S.delavayana Hand.-Mazz.）类型,研究结果与形态学结果基本一致,但叶脉序提供了新的分类学性状,可为柳属植物疑难种的分类寻找新的依据。     

Foliar architecture and anatomy of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bernardia</Emphasis> and other genera of Acalyphoideae (Euphorbiaceae)

A comparative study of leaf architecture and anatomy of 42 species of Bernardia and other genera related of Acalyphoideae was undertaken to identify characters that support infrageneric and specific delimitation. Thirty variable foliar architectural and anatomical characters were studied. Some characters are consistent (e.g., venation pattern, secondary and tertiary vein arrangement, presence or absence of agrophic veins, type of areoles, bundle sheath cell type, presence or absence of fibers in the mesophyll, trichome type, stomata location, and type of crystals), and characterize genera. In addition, foliar character distribution within Bernardia supports the most recent infrageneric classification.     

油果樟属和近缘属的网脉结构式样(英文)

对油果樟属(Syndiclis Hook.f.)及其近缘属琼楠属(Beilschmiedia Nees)、孔药楠属(Sinopora J.Li et al.)、国产土楠属(Endiandra R.Br.)和Potameia的网脉结构进行了观察。结果表明,它们的网脉结构可分为3种类型:A型网格小且小脉无游离末端;B型网格小但有不分枝或简单分枝的游离末端;C型网格粗且网脉末端多分枝。琼楠属网脉结构多样,具有全部3种类型,其余4属均仅有1种类型,油果樟属、孔药楠属以及土楠属均为A型,明显不同于Potameia的C型网脉结构。     

To which genus of Asteraceae does Liabum oblanceolatum belong? Vegetative characters have the answer

The West Indian species Liabum oblanceolatum Urb. & Ekman was established on the basis of sterile young specimens represented by acaulescent herbs with rosulate leaves. However, these specimens have important traits that do not correspond to Liabum Adans. More than 90 genera of Asteraceae occur in Hispaniola (= Santo Domingo), but only 14 of them include species represented by acaulescent herbs with rosulate or grouped leaves at the base of the stem. From these genera, Chaptalia Vent. and Liabum are the most similar to the types of L. oblanceolatum . Habit, leaf arrangement, lamina shape, leaf margin, leaf surface, leaf margin intrasection, leaf venation, leaf pubescence, leaf trichomes, stomata and upper surface leaf cuticle were analysed in the type specimens of L. oblanceolatum and in species of Chaptalia and Liabum of Hispaniola. The vegetative trichomes are described in detail. The analysis reveals that the type specimens of L. oblanceolatum fit with all the vegetative traits of Chaptalia angustata Urb. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 150 , 479–486.     

Leaf epidermal features of Quercus subgenus Cyclobalanopsis (Fagaceae) and their systematic significance

Leaf epidermal features are important taxonomic features in Quercus. We studied leaf epidermal features of 91 species and one forma of Quercus subgenus Cyclobalanopsis using light and scanning electron microscopy. Trichome terminology in oaks was assessed and clarified, aiming to score the epidermal features accurately for genus‐wide comparison. Nine trichome types, anomocytic and cyclocytic stomatal apparatus, smooth layer and platelet epicuticular wax flakes, and two trichome base types were found in subgenus Cyclobalanopsis. The epidermal features revealed three main groups in subgenus Cyclobalanopsis. The epidermal features of Quercus s.l. were uniform, supporting recognition of Cyclobalanopsis as a subgenus of Quercus rather than as a separate genus. Most leaf epidermal features show a mosaic pattern, although their numerous variations offered valuable resources for species identification. The leaf epidermal features that can be used for identification of Quercus leaves are also discussed and summarized. © 2014 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014, 176 , 224–260.     

贵州小檗属植物(小檗科)叶脉序研究

Leaf Architecture and Systematics of the Hamamelidaceae Sensu Lato

Hamamelids have a long fossil history and an important fossil record. Their interesting biogeographic relationships indicate a great age. There exist good surveys of the pollen and floral organs of this family whereas it is so far poorly known from leaf architecture. The leaf architecture of all 29 genera with more than 60 among the total of 140 species of the family was surveyed in this work using clearified leaves. It is found that leaf architecture analysis may shed light on the relationships within the family and the conclusion of evolution based on leaf architecture basically accords with that based on others. The major categories of leaf architecture of Hamamelids observed in this work are as follows: leaf form, leaf margin, tooth type, venation, marginal ultimate venation, areolation and trichome. It must be emphasized that of all these characters the tooth type is the most stable and useful for systematics. In this work a new tooth type is recognized under the name altingioid. Teeth of this type are obviously asymmetrical, with a persistent transparent gland on the top, and with their lateral veinlets free, not reaching the medial vein. All three genera of the subfamily Liquidambaroideae have this tooth type, whereas most leaves of the rest genera of this family have fothergilloid teeth, which are basically symmetrical, without glands. The venation in the fothergilloid tooth is almost the same as that in the altingioid tooth, the only difference being that the lateral veins on the abaxial side of the altingioid teeth are usually absent or very weak and short if present. The present authors consider that the subfamily Liquidambaroideae has to be separated from the family Hamamelidaceae sensu lato and treated as an independent family, Altingiaceae, on the basis of the special tooth type. different pollen morphology and flower structure. The stability of tooth type may serve classification not only of order and family level, but also of tribe, genus and species level with the help of characters of teeth, such as shape, size, density, distribution, single or double, with or without glands. By comparison of Hamamelidaceae and Altingiaceae with some primitive families of subclass Hamamelidae, namely, Trochodendraceae, Tetracentraceae, Cercidiphyllaceae, Eupteleaceae and Platanaceae, the putative evolutionary trend of tooth types is outlined as follows: ↑ altingioid Chloranthoid → Cercidiphylloid →platanoid → fothergilloid In general evolutionarytrend of teeth within these families is reduction and simplification in structure.     

Six new Mexican species of Bernardia (Euphorbiaceae)

Six new species of Bernardia from Mexico are described and illustrated. Species are distinguished by a combination of characters such as habit, leaf shape and size, indumentum, venation pattern, gland position, length of staminate inflorescence, number of bracts, number of flowers per bract, size of bracts and tepals, number of stamens, style type, fruit dehiscence, size, pubescence, trichome type, endocarp texture, seed shape, size and ornamentation, raphe length and micropyle position. Bernardia macrocarpa belongs to section Alevia ; B. chinantlensis to section Polyboea , which is recorded for the first time in Mexico; B. chiangii , B. mcvaughii , B. rzedowskii and B. valdesii belong to section Tyria , which is the most diverse section in Mexico. With the recognition of these six new species, Mexico becomes the area with the highest diversity for Bernardia .  © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2005, 149 , 241–256.     

中国水青冈属 （壳斗科） 叶结构及分类学意义

叶结构对壳斗科(Fagaceae)现存植物和化石的鉴定具有重要意义。通过对水青冈属5种植物叶结构特征进行细致的研究,结果发现水青冈属植物叶脉有羽状弓形脉、羽状半达缘脉两种类型;三级脉有波状对生贯穿、互生贯穿及混合贯穿三种类型;小脉缺失、简单无分支或一次分支;脉间区发育良好,网眼有三边形、四边形和五边形三种类型,排列规则;具齿种类叶齿由齿主脉和齿侧脉构成,齿侧脉环状。研究结果表明水青冈属二级脉与更高级脉序形成的结构稳定且存在种间差异,具重要分类学价值。基于水青冈属叶结构特征观察结果,本次研究编制了水青冈属植物的分种检索表;参照已有研究结果并结合重要外部形态学特征,编制了壳斗科相关类群分属检索表。

Leaf Venation and Its Systematic Significance in Sapindaceae of China

Leaf venation of 27 species representing 25 genera of Sapindaceae (sstr.) of China was investigated for the first time. The pinnate venation pattern in most species is either camptodromous, or craspedodromous. Three types of leaf blade margin were observed, ie., entire, toothed and partite. The secondary veins are branched or unbranched. Most species have intersecondary veins. The tertiary veins of most species are reticulate and percurrent. The areoles are regular or irregular. Veinlets are simple, branched or absent. The delimitations of Xanthoceroideae and Lepisanthes sensu lato are supported by leaf venation characters. The close relationships among Dimocarpus, Litchi and Nephelium are supported by the evidence from leaf venation. A key to the species of Sapinaceae based on leaf venation characters is presented.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE ARCHITECTURE OF DICOTYLEDONOUS LEAVES

A classification of the architectural features of dicot leaves—i.e., the placement and form of those elements constituting the outward expression of leaf structure, including shape, marginal configuration, venation, and gland position—has been developed as the result of an extensive survey of both living and fossil leaves. This system partially incorporates modifications of two earlier classifications: that of Turrill for leaf shape and that of Von Ettingshausen for venation pattern. After categorization of such features as shape of the whole leaf and of the apex and base, leaves are separated into a number of classes depending on the course of their principal venation. Identification of order of venation, which is fundamental to the application of the classification, is determined by size of a vein at its point of origin and to a lesser extent by its behavior in relation to that of other orders. The classification concludes by describing features of the areoles, i.e., the smallest areas of leaf tissue surrounded by veins which form a contiguous field over most of the leaf. Because most taxa of dicots possess consistent patterns of leaf architecture, this rigorous method of describing the features of leaves is of immediate usefulness in both modern and fossil taxonomic studies. In addition, as a result of this method, it is anticipated that leaves will play an increasingly important part in phylogenetic and ecological studies.     

Karyomorphology of Incarvillea (Bignoniaceae) and its implications in distribution and taxonomy

The karyomorphology of 11 species of the genus Incarvillea Juss. is reported. The chromosome numbers of all species studied are 2 n  = 22. The interphase nuclei and prophase chromosomes were found to be of the simple chromocentre type and the interstitial type, respectively. The asymmetry of the karyotype of I. arguta (two populations) in subgenus Amphicome is type 2A. The karyotypes of Incarvillea s inensis var. sinensis , I.  s inensis var. przewalskii, and I. olgae in subgenus Incarvillea are of asymmetry type 3A. The remaining nine species and one variety in subgenus Pteroscleris are also of asymmetry 3A. Data on three species and one variety studied are first reports. This study indicates that karyotype variation at the diploid level appears to be the predominant feature of chromosome evolution in the genus Incarvillea . According to this study of karyomorphology, morphological characteristics and geographical distribution, it seems that the three subgenera should be regarded as three independent genera. The geography of the genus is discussed.  © 2004 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2004, 144 , 113–121.     

Leaf architecture of the genus Didymaea Hook. f. (Rubiaceae)

We examined 532 specimens representing eight species of Didymaea (Rubiaceae) to describe their leaf architecture. Characters observed in the herbarium specimens and cleared leaves were leaf base, apex, and margin; trichome type and distribution; vein orders from primary to higher order veins, veinlets, and ultimate marginal vein. Six morphometric variables were analyzed using variance and principal component analysis to identify which characters are useful to distinguish species. Most of the species present brochidodromous venation pattern, except D. hispidula, which has eucamptodromous venation pattern; Didymaea floribunda is unique in having cylindrical and bicellular trichomes. Principal component analysis revealed that 78% of the total variation is mainly related to leaf maximum width. Variance analysis showed significant differences between D. microflosculosa and the other species. Architectural features were useful for differentiating all the species, and an identification key for the species of Didymaea based only on leaf characters is presented.     

Leaf architecture and ecophysiology of an early basal eudicot from the Early Cretaceous of Spain

Iterophyllum lobatum gen. et sp. nov. is reported from the late Barremian lithographic limestones of Las Hoyas, Spain. It consists of a simple, petiolate leaf, with a pinnately lobed lamina. The dentate thickened margin bears chloranthoid‐like glands at lobe apices and sinuses. The venation is pinnate and craspedodromous, with three discernible vein orders. Based on the low regularity of vein course and angles and the low leaf rank, such a venation pattern may represent an early evolved leaf archetype in early basal eudicots. An acropetal leaf development mode in I. lobatum is similar to that in several living Papaveraceae. The leaf architecture and ecophysiology, particularly the vein widths and the glands, indicate that I. lobatum leaves were aerial. The plant grew close to water in the wetland terrestrial ecosystem of Las Hoyas. Iterophyllum lobatum might have been an opportunist species in early ecological succession stages after wildfires. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2013, 173 , 594–605.     

Leaf and stem anatomy of Vochysiaceae in relation to subfamilial and suprafamilial systematics

Several leaf anatomical features are potentially systematically informative within both the family Vochysiaceae and the order Myrtales, notably tracheoidal idioblasts, mucilage cells and secretory canals. Tracheoids with spiral wall thickenings are present in the mesophyll of most species of Vochysia , and also occur in several other families of Myrtales. Mucilage cells are common in the leaf epidermis in some Vochysiaceae. Secretory ducts are present in the midrib in Salvertia and Vochysia , which are apparently closely related, although Salvertia also shares some leaf anatomical characters with Qualea and Callisthene . Anatomical data do not support the segregation of Ruizterania from Qualea ; leaves of R. albiflora leaves are very similar to those of Q. paraensis in venation pattern, and leaf and stem anatomy. Different venation patterns are characteristic of sections within the genus Qualea , but within the large genus Vochysia , leaf anatomy is variable even within a subsection. Amongst other Myrtales, leaf anatomy of Vochysiaceae most closely resembles that of Combretaceae and Onagraceae. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 138 , 339–364.     

New species and new records of Menegazzia (Parmeliaceae, lichenized ascomycetes) from Malaysia and Indonesia

The genus Menegazzia (Parmeliaceae, lichenized ascomycetes) in Malaysia and Indonesia is studied. Some specimens from Papua New Guinea are also included. The great majority of available specimens are from Kinabalu Park, State of Sabah, Malaysia. Three species are described as new to science, namely the two sorediate species M. capitata (from Sabah and Pahang in Malaysia) and M. sabahensis (from Sabah), and the fertile, primary species M. monospora (from Sabah and Papua New Guinea). M. asahinae , M. dissoluta , and M. efflorescens are reported for the first time from Malaysia, and M. subsimilis is reported for the first time from Malaysia and Indonesia. The subgenus Megamenegazzia is newly described to accommodate the large, broad-lobed species with numerous perforations on the lower surface. M. efflorescens is selected as the type species for the new subgenus. Notes are also provided on the type specimens of Hypogymnia pectinatula , a species originally considered as belonging to Menegazzia .  © 2007 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2007, 153 , 489–499.
