A Newly Recorded Species of Acanthaceae in East China

报道了浙江省发现的爵床科(Acanthaceae)马蓝属(Strobilanthes Blume)新记录植物——奇瓣马蓝(Strobi⁃lanthes cognata Benoist)。至此,浙江省记录到的马蓝属植物增加至8种。奇瓣马蓝分布于中国中西部(湖北、湖南、贵州),在浙江省为新记录,且是该物种在中国最东端以及海拔最低的分布记录。该发现为进一步丰富和补充浙江省野生植物资源物种多样性提供了宝贵资料。凭证标本保存于江苏省·中国科学院植物研究所标本馆(NAS)。

One species of Strobilanthes Blume(Acanthaceae),Strobilanthes cognata Benoist,was reported as a new record plant in Zhejiang Province.Up now,the number of Strobilanthes Blume species in Zhejiang Province has increased to eight species.Strobilanthes cognata Benoist is distributed in central and western China(Hubei,Hunan,Guizhou).We found this species in Zhejiang Province and it should be the easternmost and lowest altitude distribution record in China.Hence,this discovery could provide valuable information for further enriching and supplementing the species diversity of wild plant resources in Zhejiang Province.All the specimens are preserved in the Herbarium of Institute of Botany,Jiangsu Province and Chinese Academy of Sciences(NAS).
