钟冠报春苣苔(苦苣苔科)的分类鉴定

原唇柱苣苔属(Chirita Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don)为一个人为界定的属, 2011年在分子系统学研究的基础上对该属及其近缘属开展了系统发育重建工作,其中绝大部分的原唇柱苣苔属唇柱苣苔组(Sect. Gibbosaccus C. B. Clark)的物种被并入了广义报春苣苔属(Primulina Hance)。然而,由于历史原因和早期经典分类学在研究方法上的局限性以及对现报春苣苔属部分物种的营养器官与生殖器官的认知不够,该属下一些物种的分类仍存在一些问题,亟待深入研究。比如,在对中国和越南分布的苦苣苔科植物开展研究的过程中,作者发现两个报春苣苔属的物种——广布于中国西南和华南直至中南半岛中部的钟冠报春苣苔[Primulina swinglei(Merr.)Mich. Möller & A. Weber]命名人和原被认为是中国与广西特有种的疏花报春苣苔[P. laxiflora(W. T. Wang)Yin. Z. Wang]之间的鉴定存在分类学问题,需要进一步厘清两者之间的关系。该文对这两个物种进行了形态比较,同时通过对这两种植物的原始描述对比、植物标本检查、栽培观察以及野外实地观察,确定疏花报春苣苔是钟冠报春苣苔的异名。此外,还明确了钟冠报春苣苔的后选指定模式标本。

该研究描述了产于福建省邵武市的苦苣苔科(Gesneriaceae)报春苣苔属(Primulina)一新种——邵武报春苣苔(P. shaowuensis X. X. Su, Liang Ma & S. P.

重庆荨麻科一新种——缙云赤车

在重庆市北碚区缙云山野外植物调查过程中,于海拔500~800 m的溪边阴湿沟谷中发现一种荨麻科植物,虽然该物种雌花序具花序托,但因其雌花花被片5枚,外面先端具角状突起,瘦果只具瘤状突起,更符合赤车属的特征,且结合分子系统学证据,该物种明显属于赤车属。该物种的特征在于其具花序托和总苞的雌花序,根据这一特征可将其置于头序赤车组(Sect.Elatostematopsis W.T.Wang),与头序赤车(Pellionia cephaloidea W.T.Wang)相似,但与后者区别在于其为草本,叶为羽状脉,侧脉在狭侧2~3条,宽侧3~4条,外层苞片2枚,无毛,背面具1绿色龙骨状突起,内层苞片8~12枚,无毛,背面具1绿色龙骨状突起,雌花花被片背面顶端具角状突起,瘦果椭圆形,具瘤状突起。基于形态学和分子系统学证据,特将它描述为赤车属一新种,命名为缙云赤车(Pellionia jinyunensis C.Xiong,F.Chen&H.P.Deng)。

Rubia austrozhejiangensis sp. nov. (Rubiaceae) from Zhejiang,China

Rubia austrozhejiangensis Z. P. Lei, Y. Y. Zhou & R. W. Wang, a new species of Rubiaceae from China, is described and illustrated. The new species is similar to R. ovatifolia Z. Ying Zhang and R. argyi (H. Lév. & Vaniot) H. Hara ex Lauener, but differs from the former in having stems and branches cylindrical, not quadrate‐angled, long‐ovate to ovate‐lanceolate leaf blades, many‐flowered inflorescence, and smaller mericarps, 3–4 mm in diameter. In R. ovatifolia, stems and branches are quadrate‐angled, leaf blades ovate, ovate‐cordate to rounded cordate, and the inflorescences are sparsely flowered. Compared to R. argyi, the new species has cylindrical, not quadrate‐angled stems and branches, leaf blades that are long‐ovate to ovate‐lanceolate, 3–5‐veined, and slightly reflexed corolla lobes. In R. argyi, stems and branches are quadrate‐angled or winged, the corolla lobes are spreading, and the mericarps are 5–7 mm in diameter.

Wang by scapiform male inflorescences (axillary in other species of Elatostema sect. Pellionioides).     

Taxonomic notes on Metasasa and Indocalamus nanunicus (Poaceae: Bambusoideae)

Based on comprehensive field observations and careful herbarium studies, we discuss the status of the type species of Metasasa W. T. Lin (M. carinata W. T. Lin) and entities previously treated as synonyms of its name. Three species in two genera were involved. First, M. carinata and M. albofarinosa W. T. Lin were confirmed to be conspecific and a new combination Acidosasa carinata (Lin) D. Z. Li & Y. X. Zhang is proposed. Secondly, although M. carinata was previously treated as a synonym of Acidosasa nanunica (McClure) C. S. Chao & G. Y. Yang, close morphological study revealed that these two are not conspecific. Pseudosasa nanunica (McClure) Z. P. Wang & G. H. Ye is restored to accommodate this distinct species. Finally, another name previously treated as a synonym of A. nanunica, Pseudosasa acutivagina T. H. Wen & S. C. Chen should also be resumed. Synonyms are provided for each of these three species.
