国产毛茛科翠雀属中一个误用的学名

A Misapplied Name in the Genus Delphinium (Ranunculaceae) from China

Delphinium teniiL啨vl.长期以来被用作我国云南西北部一种常见的花序轴和花梗无毛的翠雀的学名。检查模式标本后发现其花序轴和花梗均密被反曲短柔毛,因此D.tenii与四川和云南相当广布的康定翠雀D.tatsienense Franch.没有本质区别,应将D.tenii处理为康定翠雀的异名。以前鉴定为Delphinium tenii的植物的正确学名应当是中甸翠雀D.yuanum Chen。

Delphinium tenii Lévl.has long been applied as the name of a common Delphinium species with glabrous inflorescence axis and pedicels in northwestern Yunnan,China.Examination of the type collection of this name has shown that the inflorescence axis and pedicels are densely retrosely puberulent.Delphinium tenii is thus not essentially different from D.tatsienense,a species rather widely occurring in Sichuan and Yunnan.The correct name of the specimens previously referred to D.tenii is considered to be D.yuanum Chen.
