A reassessment of some Asian species of Heterophyllium (Schimp.) Kindb. (Pylaisiadelphaceae,Bryophyta)

Introduction. Heterophyllium albicans Thér., H. henryi Tixier, H. micro-alare (Broth. & Paris) Broth. and H. tonkinense (Broth. & Paris) Broth. were all either poorly known species or known only from the type collections since their inception.

Methods. Examination of the type material confirmed that the alar cell structure in these species do not conform to the generic concept of Heterophyllium (Schimp.) Kindb. The study also revealed some new features previously unreported in these species, i.e., the filamentous pseudoparaphyllia, one of the characteristic features of the genus Isopterygium Mitt.

Key Results & Conclusions. Three new combinations, Isopterygium albicans (Thér.) Y.Jia & S.He, I. micro-alare (Broth. & Paris) Y.Jia & S.He, and I. tonkinense (Broth. & Paris) Y.Jia & S.He are proposed. Heterophyllium henryi Tixier is treated as a new synonym of Brotherella henonii (Duby) M.Fleisch.     

中国毛锦藓科植物增补

在对毛锦藓科的分类学修订中,我们报道3个种和1变种在中国的新分布记录,它们是：外弯小锦藓Brotherella recurvans、纤枝疣胞藓Clastobryum cuculligerum、海岛麻锦藓Taxithelium liukiuense、扭尖金枝藓阔叶变种Trismegistia calderensis var. rigida。这些新记录物种的标本分别采自海南、香港和云南。     

Systematic position of the moss genus Trachyphyllum A.Gepp (Pylaisiadelphaceae) plus additions to its distribution in the Neotropics

Representatives of the genus Trachyphyllum are shown to form a monophyletic group. The presence of papillae at both ends of leaf cells, investigated here using SEM, is suggested as a possible synapomorphy. The position of the genus at the family level is discussed and changed to Pylaisiadelphaceae. In addition, the geographic distribution of Trachyphyllum in the New World is updated.     

毛锦藓科中国新记录种——卷边麻锦藓

报道了产自广西的毛锦藓科1中国新记录种——卷边麻锦藓[Taxithelium kerianum(Broth.)Broth.],提供了该种详细的形态描述和图版,并编制了麻锦藓属的分种检索表,明确了卷边麻锦藓与中国分布的麻锦藓属其它种类之间的形态差别。该种主要分布在南亚及其附近地区,为典型的热带藓类。     

基于ITS和trnL-F以及rps4基因片段的 粗疣藓属分类学地位研究

选择粗疣藓属及相关属样本作为内群,油藓属样本作为外群,选取核基因ITS片段以及叶绿体基因trnL-F和rps4片段进行PCR扩增、测序,运用贝叶斯推论(BI)、最大似然法(ML)和最大简约法(MP)构建分子系统发育树,以明确粗疣藓属的分类学地位。结果表明:(1)用于分子系统分析的基因序列共有1 744个位点,其中747个位点属于核基因片段,997个位点属于叶绿体基因片段。(2)3种系统发育树拓扑结构基本一致,都显示粗疣藓属与毛锦藓科成员聚成一支,支持粗疣藓属应隶属于毛锦藓科的观点。(3)小粗疣藓和粗疣藓的种间界限模糊。(4)小鼠尾藓属的3个种与棉藓属成员聚成一支,支持将其归入棉藓科的观点。
