H.史密斯采集的中国紫草科植物

AN ENUMERATION OF THE BORAGINACEOUS PLANTS COLLECTED BY H. SMITH FROM CHINA DURING 1921--22, 1924 AND 1934

自H.Smith在二十、三十年代从我国采集的紫草科标本中鉴定出15属,36种,4变种,均属紫草亚科,其中包括附地菜属一新种。其实,这批标本本来应该包括更多的新种,如Johnston在1928年及以后描述的Microularockii Johnst,Onosma mertensioides Johnst,O.adenopus Johnst.,Trigonotis floribunda Johnst.,Kitagawa在六十年代描述的Lappula shan-hsiensis Kitag.,本文作者和王庆瑞在八十年代描述的Microula pseudotric-hocarpa W.T.Wang,M.turbinata W.T.Wang,M.floribunda W.T.Wang,Trigonotis longipes W.T.Wang,T.corispermoides C.J.Wang。只是由于这批紫草科标本未得到及时鉴定,才推迟了这10个种的发表。

36 species and 4 varieties belonging to 15 genera of the family Bora-ginaceae are identified from the plant collections made by the late Dr. H.Smith from China during the twenties and thirties of this century. Onespecies of the genus Trigonotis is described as new. However, as a matterof fact, in these collections should be included more new species of thefamily Boraginaceae, i. e. Microula rockii Johnst., Onosma mertensioidesJohnst., O. adenopus Johnst., and Trigonolis floribunda Johnst. described byI.M. Johnston in 1928 and afterwards, Lappula shanhsiensis Kitag. describedby M. Kitagawa in the sixties, and Microula pseudotrichocarpa W. T. Wang,M. turbinata W. T. Wang, M. floribunda W. T. Wang, Trigonotis longipesW. T. Wang, and T. corispermoides C. J. Wang described by me and byWang Ching-jui respectively in the eighties. Because no timely identi-fication has been given to the boraginaceous specimens of H. Smith'scollections, the publication of these ten species was more or less greatlydelayed and was based on specimens collected by other collectors, otherthan by H. Smith.
