THE FLORISTIC STRUCTURE OF THE XIZANG PART OF THE QINGHAI-XIZANG PLATEAU PLANT SUBKINGDOM

The flora of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau belongs to the floristic subkingdom of the Holarctic plant kingdom. The Xizang part of this subkingdom can be divided into 4 plant regions. 1) the Yarlung Zangbo River valley region. There are 1,003 species of seed plants, making up 19.38% of the total species in Xizang, and 159 endemic species, 15.89% of the total seed plants. The flora originates mainly from the East Himalayas and the Hengduan Mountains. 2) The Tanggute region. There are 349 species of seed plants and 10 endemic species. The flora represents an intermediate one between the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains.3) The Qiangtang region. There are 255 species of seed plants and 18 endemic species. The flora derived from the Himalayan flora and mixed with a great number of Tethysian elements. 4) the Ali region. There are 547 species of seed plants and 41 endemic species. The flora seems to be closely related to Tethysian one.

High-level classification of the Fungi and a tool for evolutionary ecological analyses

High-throughput sequencing studies generate vast amounts of taxonomic data.Evolutionary ecological hypotheses of the recovered taxa and Species Hypotheses are difficult to test due to problems with alignments and the lack of a phylogenetic backbone.We propose an updated phylum-and class-level fungal classification accounting for monophyly and divergence time so that the main taxonomic ranks are more informative.Based on phylogenies and divergence time estimates,we adopt phylum rank to Aphelidiomycota,Basidiobolomycota,Calcarisporiellomycota,Glomeromycota,Entomophthoromycota,Entorrhizomycota,Kickxellomycota,Monoblepharomycota,Mortierellomycota and Olpidiomycota.We accept nine subkingdoms to accommodate these 18 phyla.We consider the kingdom Nucleariae(phyla Nuclearida and Fonticulida)as a sister group to the Fungi.We also introduce a perl script and a newick-formatted classification backbone for assigning Species Hypotheses into a hierarchical taxonomic framework,using this or any other classification system.We provide an example of testing evolutionary ecological hypotheses based on a global soil fungal data set.

中国长白山和小兴安岭地区乳菇属二新种（英文）

描述了乳菇属的2个新种:皮壳乳菇Lactarius incrustatus和玫汁乳菇L. roseoligalus。该2种生于长白山和小兴安岭地区由蒙古栎、红松和桦构成的混交林下。皮壳乳菇属于乳菇亚属L. subg. Lactarius,特征为菌盖潮湿至近干、灰蓝或灰紫色、菌褶黄白色、盖表皮具深黄褐色皮壳附着物和孢子纹饰近斑马纹状。玫汁乳菇属于变红乳菇亚属L. subg. Plinthogalus,特征为乳汁白色快速变艳玫红色、孢子具高的排列为斑马纹状的纹饰和具褐色内含物的栅栏球囊型盖表皮。文中提供了该2种的外观和显微特征描述、与相近种的形态对比和真菌条形码ITS序列。
