《Flora of China》中蒲葵属之分类订正(英文)

Taxonomic Notes on Livistona(Palmae) in Flora of China

通过调查,对Livistona chinensis的后选模式、L.fengkaiensis和L.jenkinsiana的主模式、L.saribus的等新模式、L.speciosa的等模式与《Flora of China》中的上述种类作比较,证实《Flora of China》中的L.jenkinsiana是L.spe-ciosaKurz,后者被中国分类学文献(如《海南植物志》、《中国植物志》、《福建植物志》、《云南植物志》)误定为L.saribus。L.speciosa的果倒卵形、椭圆形或卵形,而L.jenkinsiana的果肾形或近球形。源于《中国植物志》的L.saribus并非原产于中国。在中国,L.speciosa原产于云南、广东、海南和福建,L.chinensis原产于广东和台湾,而L.jenkinsi-ana和L.saribus仅被引种至中国的植物园。

Based on the lectotype of Livistona chinensis,the holotypes of L.fengkaiensis and L.jenkinsiana,the isoneotype of L.saribus and the isotype of L.speciosa,the status of those species in Flora of China was reviewed.L.speciosa has obovate,elliptical or ovoid fruits,but L.jenkinsiana has reniform or subglobose fruits.Livistona jenkinsiana in Flora of China should be L.speciosa Kurz which was misidentified as L.saribus in Chinese taxonomic literature,such as Flora of Hainan,Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae,Flora Fujianica and Flora Yunnanica.L.saribus in Flora of China,which originates with Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae,is not endemic to China.In China,L.speciosa is endemic to Yunnan,Guangdong,Hainan and Fujian,and L.chinensis is endemic to Guangdong and Taiwan,yet Livistona jenkinsiana and L.saribus were introduced to China only by certain botanical gardens.
