黄花绿绒蒿的发现与考证

The Discovery and Textual Research of Mecononopsis georgei

自1931年英国植物猎人G.Forrest在维西采集到黄花绿绒蒿标本后到2018年的87 a时间里,再也没有专家学者真正发现该物种在野外的分布。由于过去存在的一些错误描述和记录,误导了后来的科研人员对该物种的正确认识,引起了分类学上不必要的混乱。通过研究和考证,本文澄清了过去对该物种及其相关物种的一些错误认识,理清了黄花绿绒蒿和栗色绿绒蒿在属内的分类关系,并为黄花绿绒蒿指定了一号附加模式以帮助准确鉴定。

In the 87 years from 1931 to 2018,there were no experts had truly found the plant in the wild again,since G.Forrest,a British plant hunter,collected a specimen of Meconopsis georgei in Weixi County 1931.There were some misdescriptions and records in the past,which misled later researchers on the correct identification of the species,causing unnecessary confusion in taxonomy.Through research and identification,this study clarified some misconceptions about this species and its related species in the past,clarified the taxonomical relationship between M.georgei and M.castanea within the genus,and designated a number of specimen as the epitype of M.georgei helping for correct identification.
