虎尾草亚科(Chloridoideae)的分类系统述评

Change and Development of the Classification Systems of the Subfamily Chloridoideae (Gramineae)

简要介绍了禾本科虎尾草亚科的分类历史。考察虎尾草亚科属上阶元的变化过程,概括不同时期该亚科分类学研究的进展及分类原则,对3种研究方法的不足进行评价。自1990年《中国植物志》第10卷第1分册出版以来,对中国虎尾草亚科植物属种水平的系统变化进行了说明。为了更好地理解虎尾草亚科的系统发育关系,指出了虎尾草亚科没有解决的问题及今后的研究方向。

This paper presents the history of taxonomic study on the subfamily Ch loridoideae. Seven classification systems are reviewed. The changes in taxa at s upra-generic levels (i.e. tribes and subtribes) are surveyed, the criteria on wh ich each system is based are briefly discussed, and comments on the main contrib utions of these systems are described. In addition, for a better understanding o f the phylogeny and for further study, some unresolved problems in the above-men tioned systems are pointed out. The changes in systematic arrangement of the Chl oridoideae from China at generic and specific levels are indicated since 1990 wh en the tenth volume of the Florae Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae was published.
