刮目相看茜草科（上）

蓬子菜茜草科植物有５００属６０００种,也有书记载为６３７属１０７００种。它在被子植物的科中不是最大的,但是有一现象十分有趣。如果我们把几个大科的属和种数对比一下,会发现茜草科有一特点,即用属数和种数比,平均每属所包含的种数少,足以令人刮目相看这一科。茜草科以种数与属数相除,平均每属含种数１２个,此数值较之其他几个大科少得多。这说明茜草科植物属的分化强烈,亦即说明本科生物多样性的分化更深入。但是茜草科中也有一些大的属,如九节木属Ｐｓｙｃｈｏｔｒｉａ有８００—１５００种,耳草属Ｈｅｄｙｏｔｉｓ…

紫萼藓科植物茎及叶的解剖学研究（续）

对在一号冰川这种极端环境下生长的4种紫萼科植物,茎及叶的内部结构和表面进行解剖学观察,结果表明：直叶紫萼(Grimmia elatior Bruth ex Bals. et Dt Not.)叶中肋背面突出不明显,表面角质层纹饰呈条状纵列;叶腹面有少量鳞片状附属物;卷边紫萼藓(Grimma donniana Sm.)茎表皮细胞强烈凹陷,使其表面呈波浪状,中肋细背面突出;垫状紫萼藓(Grimmia pulvinata (Hedw) Sm.)叶中肋在叶背、腹面均为凸型,无小形厚壁细胞,茎、叶细胞中均含大量的淀粉粒;南欧紫萼藓(Grimmia tergestina Tomm.ex B.S.G)叶背、腹面细胞凹陷明显,角质层厚,皱褶粗糙,遮盖着凹陷的表皮细胞,中肋凸出明显。这些细微特征可成为藓类植物分类学的依据之一。

A taxonomic and nomenclatural note on Hieracium caesium (Asteraceae)

The only specimen suitable for typification of Hieracium caesium was discovered in UPS and is here designated as the lectotype. This name appears to have been misapplied and superfluous when originally published at specific rank, but is legitimate according to Art. 52.3. Correct names proposed for three species of the group Caesia (H. caesium = H. basifolium, H. laeticolor and H. plumbeum) are given with infraspecific variants and some more important synonyms. The names H. caesium subsp. laeticolor, H. imitans, H. caesium var. nemorum, H. plumbeum are also lectotypified. Two new combinations H. caesium var. basifolium and H. caesium var. imitans are proposed.

Linnaeus's butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea)

The names of all the species of butterflies described by Linnaeus under "Papilio" are researched. Of the 305 names treated, 243 (c. 80%) are currently valid as specific (241) or subspecific (2), 29 are junior synonyms, 14 are invalid (one of these applying to a fake), and for 13 the identity is unknown or uncertain. Six species of moths misidentified by Linnaeus as butterflies are cited in the study, but details are not included. One hundred and fifty-two lectotypes have been designated, representing about 56% of the sum of the valid names and junior synonyms. Of these, 99 were selected from specimens in the Linnean Society of London, 52 from Queen Ludovica Ulrica's collection, Uppsala, and one lectotype is a Petiver specimen from the collection of Sir Hans Sloane. Linnaeus described at least five species, possibly eight, from the literature alone. All Linnaean material examined is documented, as are 'subsequent' specimens that are associated with Linnaean material. Synonymy and homonymy are discussed and presented, as are the identities of type localities. Care has been taken to achieve a practical balance between Linnaean and current species identities. Linnaean material studied included specimens from The Linnean Society of London, Museum Ludovicae Ulricae (Uppsala University), the Clerck and De Geer collections in the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stockholm, and the collection of James Petiver, now part of the collection of Sir Hans Sloane housed in The Natural History Museum, London.     

Lectotypification of the Bertoloni's names in the genus Senecio L. (Asteraceae)

Original material of the four Senecio taxa described by A. Bertoloni has been examined, and the typification of their names is discussed. A specimen from the Monti Herbarium (kept in BOLO) and iconographies from Bonanni and Bertoloni are designated as lectotypes, whereas another specimen from the Monti Herbarium is selected as neotype. The nomenclature of the names Senecio erucifolius L., Senecio tenuifolius Jacq., Senecio delphinifolius Vahl and Senecio rupestris Waldst. & Kit. is also analysed. The names S. crinitus Bertol. and S. laciniatus Bertol. belong to S. delphinifolius [now Jacobaea delphinifolia (Vahl) Pelser & Veldkamp] and S. rupestris [now Senecio squalidus subsp. rupestris (Waldst. & Kit.) Greuter], respectively, whereas S. erraticus Bertol. and S. praealtus Bertol. are accepted as separate taxa as Jacobaea erratica (Bertol.) Fourr. and Jacobaea erucifolia subsp. praealta (Bertol.) Greuter & B.Nord., respectively.     

Type designation of the oaks Quercus ballota and Q. rotundifolia (Fagaceae)

The names Quercus ballota and Q. rotundifolia (Fagaceae), referring to taxa sometimes considered conspecific with the widely distributed Q. ilex, are discussed and typified. A specimen preserved at MPU is designated as the lectotype of Desfontaines's name Q. ballota. Lamarck's name Q. rotundifolia is neotypified using a specimen preserved at VAL, with several duplicates in other European herbaria.     

小叶栒子的分类学研究

据有关模式和产地标本的研究，结合野外调查、叶表皮微形态观察结果，对小叶栒子（Cotoneaster microphyllus Wall.ex Lindl.)进行了分类学修订，将分属 ３系（Series Procumbens Klotz; Series Alpigeni和Series Marginati Klotz）的１５个名称归并作小叶栒子的同物异名。     

Classification of Kobresia fragilis C. B. Clarke (Cyperaceae) and related taxa

The classification of Kobresia fragilis C. B. Clarke and related taxa were studied based on gross morphology and nutlet epidermal micromorphology. About 13 names have been involved in the species group. They could not be clearly defined using the morphological characters employed by previous authors. Thus, more than 200 sheets of 89 specimens of related taxa were studied thoroughly, and the taxonomic significance of morpbological characters was re-evaluated. In order to further understand the classification of K. fragilis and its allies, micromorphology of nutlet epidermis of these taxa was observed under scanning electron microscope. Based on the results, K. curvata C. B. Clarke and K. fragilis were recognized. Other names were treated as synonymies of K. fragilis. K. clarkeana (Kükenthal) Kükenthal, K. clarkeana var. megalantha Kükenthal and K. curticeps (C. B. Clarke) Kükenthal var. gyirongensis Y. C. Yang were reduced to new synonymies of K. fragilis. K. curvata was distinct from K. fragilis on both morphological and micromorphological basis. One specimen of K. fragilis collected from Luqu, Gansu, China, represents anew distribution record of this species in Gansu.

Taxonomic studies on the diatom genus Navicula Bory. Navicula grevillii (CA.Ag.) Heiberg and N. comoides (Dillwyn) H. & M. Peragallo

Two closely related species of the diatom genus Navicula were investigated using light and electron microscopy. A hitherto unrecorded structure associated with the raphe of N. delognei Van Heurck is described.
Examination of type material revealed that the nomenclatural types of N. grevillii (CA.Ag.) Heiberg and N. comoides (Dillwyn) H. & M. Peragallo do not agree with the present understanding of these species, therefore alternative names were sought. All the synonyms of each species were traced and a table of synonymy is supplied. The names N. delognei and N. pseudocomoides are proposed as replacements for N. grevillii and N. comoides respectively and types are cited.
