Six new species of Thalictrum(Ranunculaceae)from China

Six species of the genus Thalictum (Ranunculaceae)are described as new from China:(1) Thalictrum daguanense, described from north-eastern Yunnan Province, is closely related to T. ramosum Boivin, differing from the latter in its thicker, larger and mostly ovate leaflets, shorter and slightly recurved carpel styles, and lunate achene.(2)T. latistylum, described from southern Gansu Province, is charcterized by its flattend suboblong carpel style ada-xially without stigma or any stigmatic tissue, and by this unique character can be distinguished from other chinese species of Thalictrum.(3)T. sexnervisepalum, described from central Sichuan Province, is related to T. leuconotum Franch., differing from the latter in its hairy stem and laeflets, 6-nerved sepals, some stamens with abortive anthers, puberulous ovariies, and not winged stigmas.(4)T. jilongense, described from southern Xizang Zizhiqu, is closely related to T. leuconotum Franch., differing from the latter in its ovate, acute stipels, thyrses without lateral compound monochasia, and narrowly oblong and not mucronate anthers.(5)T. spiristylum, described from northwestern Yunnan Provice,is probably related to T. leuconotum Franch., differing from the latter in its 1-nerved sepals, 4-5-staminate flower, spiraly curved style apex, and inconspicuous stigma.(6)T. zhadaense, described from south-western Xizang Zizhiqu, is related to T. foliolosum DC., differing from the latter in its acute and acutely dentate leaflets, few-branched and few-flowered thyreses, narrow-ovate sepals and narrow-oblong anthers.
