中国赤车属新分类

(1)根据该文中赤车属与楼梯草属各种形态学的区别,认为赤车属较为原始,在楼梯草属之前自冷水花属衍生而出。(2)将赤车属划分为5组;将C.B.Robinson描述的Elatostemoides属降为组级群,作为赤车属中接近原始群全缘赤车组sect.Pileoides的一个组处理,此外还描述了一个与sect.Elatostemoides近缘的1新组,羽脉赤车组sect.Leiolaena,并根据叶、叶的脉序、雌花序、雌花被片和瘦果等器官的演化趋势给出显示赤车属属下诸群间亲缘关系的系统发育树。(3)对中国赤车属的属下分类群进行了修订,共承认32种1亚种7变种,给出检索表、描述及多幅插图,并将它们划分为4组、2亚组和9系,其中除sect.Leiolaena之外,还新描述了2亚组、5系、2种和3变种;在2003年被归并为同物异名的长柄赤车、曲毛赤车、波缘赤车、小赤车和富宁赤车的种级地位得到恢复。此外,还写出了中国赤车属的分类学简史和地理分布。     

A study of Gramineae and Urticaceae pollen in the Derby area

Summary Gramineae and Urticaceae seasonal variations and diurnal rhythms for Derby in 1986, 1987 and 1988 are shown and discussed.The time of highest hourly concentration of Gramineae for Derby in June was 1900 hours. Maximum hourly counts for June of Urticaceae pollen occurred between 1400 and 1600 hours.Urticaceae has a second period of high concentration in August. Gramineae and Urticaceae pollens from 1969–1990 show no significant long term trends.     

Water-soluble glycoprotein from Urtica dioica leaves

A neutral and an acidic carbohydrate-protein polymer were isolated from leaves of Urtica dioica. The neutral fraction was a glycoprotein, containing the serine-O-galactoside glycopeptide bond. Methylation analysis revealed a highly branched structure, arabinose constituting the exterior and mainly galactose the interior part of the carbohydrate moiety. Galacturonic acid was the major component of the acidic fraction.     

都匀楼梯草, 贵州荨麻科一新种

描述了在中国贵州发现的楼梯草属一新种:都匀楼梯草(Elatostema duyunense W. T. Wang & Y. G. Wei),本种在亲缘关系上与上林楼梯草(E.shanglinense W. T. Wang)甚为相近,但根状茎细长,明显,茎较高,叶上面近牙齿顶端处被极短糙伏毛,托叶较大,条形或宽条形,有1条褐色脉,雄花序有短梗,花序托近圆形,明显,苞片6,其中2枚较大,卵状三角形,4枚较小,船状条形,小苞片无毛而与后者不同。     

柔毛赤车, 广西荨麻科一新种

描述了自广西西南部发现的荨麻科(Urticaceae)赤车属(Pellionia)一新种,柔毛赤车(P. mollissima)。此种的特征是其瘦果具短线纹和瘤状突起,据此果实特征,可将此种与赤车属的其他种相区别。     

来宾赤车, 广西荨麻科一新种

描述了自广西发现的荨麻科赤车属一新种,来宾赤车。此种与特产云南东南部的富宁赤车相近缘,与后者的区别在于本种茎的毛开展或向上弯曲,叶片长椭圆形,基部斜楔形,雌花具3～4枚花被片,其中1～2枚较大花被片在背面顶端具一长筒状突起。     

云南楼梯草属研究随记

描述了云南荨麻科楼梯草属三新种和一新变种;列出了勐仑楼梯草与骤尖楼梯草的区别特征,据此说明勐仑楼梯草是一个比骤尖楼梯草原始的独立种,不赞同将其归并,而认为应予以恢复。
