Chrysosplenium sangzhiense Hong Liu, a new species from Hunan, China, is described and illustrated. The phylogenetic analysis revealed that the belongs to subgen. closely related C. grayanum , nepalense sinicum . chromosome number of 2n = 46, indicating novel basic x 23 in different other species. This also suggests probably an allopolyploid derivative with 11 one 12. Morphologically, can be easily distinguished cavaleriei not included our by suite characters relating sterile shoots, basal...
Few studies document plants in caves. Our field observations of a widespread and seemingly angiosperm-rich cave flora SW China lead us to test the following hypotheses, 1) caves contain diverse vascular plant flora, 2) that this is relic largely absent forest type lacking endemic species, 3) light environment occupy not distinct from non-cave habitats. To do so we surveyed 61 used species accumulation curves (SAC) estimate total diversity subsample 14 characterise environment. We regional...
Rapid economic development and increased demand for mineral products in China have led to extensive extraction of various ores, resulting significant environmental challenges associated with the generation industrial solid waste, particularly iron tailings. Despite being a major mining nation, faces issues wasteful practices, substantial amounts valuable elements lost during processing ore. This study addresses urgent need sustainable solutions by proposing an innovative approach recovery...
Limestone karsts across southern China to southeastern Asia are renowned biodiversity hotspots. The karst characterized by exposed calcareous rocks, seasonal droughts and thin soils that deficient in N P but with high Ca Mg content. stressful habitat may result through mechanisms such as niche differentiation, hybridization, polyploidy apomixis. genus Elatostema (Urticaceae) has particularily species diversity this area can be used a model explore the of speciation. We conducted cytological...
The complete chloroplast genome of Petrocodon jingxiensis (Yan Liu, H.S. Gao, and W.B. Xu) A. Weber Mich. Möller was determined in this study. cp 153,056 bp length including two inverted repeats (IRs) 25,405 bp, which were separated by LSC SSC 84,154 18,092 respectively. GC content 41.9%. encoded 112 functional genes, 79 protein-coding 29 tRNA four rRNA genes. This plastid is the first report for Gesneriaceae will be useful data developing markers further studies on resolving relationship...
Abstract Ensuring that genera are monophyletic should result in a stable classification better reflects evolutionary history, and which can serve as framework for answering broader scientific questions. It is also important species be assigned to easily unambiguously so remove barriers identification discovery. Pilea , with 933 published names likely more than 700 spp. the largest genus within Urticaceae was last monographed 1869. Whilst monophyly of has been proposed by previous authors,...
The orchid genus Vietorchis comprises three species, all discovered in the 21 century. Each of these species is achlorophyllous, mycoheterotrophic and known to be endemic Vietnam. type genus, V. aurea , occurs a single location northern Vietnam within lowland limestone karstic area. furcata proboscidea contrast, are confined mountains southern Vietnam, far away from any formations. Taxonomic placement remained uncertain for reason inconclusive morphological affinities. At same time, has...
is a taxonomically challenging group within the nettle family (Urticaceae). The polyphyly of genus has been proposed by previous studies with respect to five genera (
Primulina fengshanensis Fang Wen & Yue Wang, a new species of Gesneriaceae from Guangxi, is described and illustrated. The compared with the similar P. linearifolia longgangensis.
The complete chloroplast genome of Elatostema dissectum Wedd. was reported in this study. cp 150,302 bp length including two inverted repeats (IRs) 24,565 bp, which were separated by LSC and SSC 83,998 17,174 respectively. GC content 36.2%. encoded 112 functional genes, 79 protein-coding 29 tRNA 4 rRNA genes. This plastid is the first report for tribe Elatostemateae Urticaceae, will be useful data developing markers further studies on resolving relationship within genus tribe.
Elatostema (Urticaceae) comprises several hundred herbaceous species distributed in tropical and subtropical Africa, Asia, Australia Oceania. The greatest richness occurs on limestone karst Southeast Asia. Taxonomic revisions of are largely out date contradict each other with respect to the delimitation Pellionia. Most herbaria SE Asia worldwide contain significant amounts unidentified material. As part a broader revision we present an updated checklist for Vietnam based field visits, review...
Michaelmoelleria , a new genus from southern Vietnam is described with single species, M. vietnamensis . The morphologically most similar to Deinostigma and Tribounia but it differs the latter two by having four fertile stamens. Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region plastid trnL-F intron ( ) DNA sequence data eighty-seven species representing 42 genera within tribe Didymocarpeae are used resolve its generic placement. molecular evidence reveals that closely related...
Aim: Caves are widespread geological structures within karst landscapes which is associated with diverse flora.In the last 20 years, dozens of new species from Chinese caves have been described, many not in current list cave this study, we aimed to generate an updated China's flora better reflect diversity and endemism ecosystem raise attention its importance for conservation sustainable use biological diversity.Methods: We created a catalogue all plants by integrating published regional...
Chrysosplenium zhouzhiense Hong Liu, a new species from Shaanxi, north-western China, is described and photographed. The belongs to Subgen. Gamosplenium Sect. Nephrophylloides Ser. Macrophylla most similar C. macrophyllum zhangjiajieense which it differs by having shorter stem, rhizome absent, basal leaf sterile branch arising the flowering stem light yellow flower with longer stamen. A global conservation assessment performed classifies as Endangered (EN).
Petrocodon asterocalyx F.Wen, Y.G.Wei & R.L.Zhang, a new species from the Danxia landform area in Guangxi, South China, is described and illustrated based on molecular morphological data. The evidence shows that recovered weakly supported clade. Within this clade, one morphologically similar to P. hancei (Hemsl.) A.Weber Mich.Möller coriaceifolius (Y.G.Wei) Mich.Möller, it can be distinguished former by calyx lobes 20–40 × 2–3 mm, corolla 2.5–3.0 cm long, filaments sparsely erectly...
Primulina papillosa Z.B. Xin, W.C. Chou & F. Wen, a new species from limestone areas of Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated here. It morphologically resembles P. linearifolia (W.T. Wang) Yin Z. Wang pseudolinearifolia W.B. Xu K.F. Chung, but can be easily distinguished by some combined characters, especially its leaf blades densely papillose-hispid. We found only one population at the type locality with no more than 200 individuals, so that this provisionally assessed as...
Actinostephanus, a new genus from southern China, is described and colorfully illustrated with single species, A.enpingensis. This morphologically most similar to Boeica Leptoboea, nevertheless, it can be easily distinguished the latter two by following characteristics, such as leaves in whorls of three, all closely clustered at top; corolla bowl-shaped, 5-lobed, actinomorphic; capsule hard, oblong-ovoid, short, 3-4 mm long, densely appressed villous, wrapped persistent pubescent calyx...
Of the 280 species of Elatostema documented in China, 189 are known only from a single collection. Elatostemasetulosum is one such species, having been type collection for nearly half century, until recent field investigations Guangxi. Due to its morphological similarity E.huanjiangense and E.tetracephalum, we undertook critical review all three using molecular evidence. Our results suggest that names refer same which based on priority should be as Elatostemasetulosum. We recognize...
Primulina spiradiclioides Z.B. Xin & F. Wen (Gesneriaceae), a new species from limestone areas in Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. It resembles P. curvituba, but can be easily distinguished it by several characters, especially its straight corolla tube. We found only one population with fewer than 200 mature individuals at the type locality.
