The identity of Anemone weixiensis (Ranunculaceae) from northwestern Yunnan, China

Examination of herbarium specimens (including type material) has shown that Anemone weixiensis, recently described from Weixi County in northwestern Yunnan, China, is conspecific with A. flaccida, a species widely distributed in China, Japan and Russia (Far East) and fairly common in northwestern Yunnan. We therefore place A. weixiensis in synonymy with A. flaccida. As A. flaccida belongs to A. sect. Keiskea based on molecular work, we reduce A. sect. Deinostigma, which was established to accommodate A. weixiensis, to the synonymy of A. sect. Keiskea.

Based on examination of herbarium specimens (including type material), we demonstrate that Delphinium breviscaposum and D. filibracteolum (Ranunculaceae), both described recently from northwestern Yunnan in China, are conspecific with D. ceratophorum and D. bulleyanum, respectively, two species very common in northwestern Yunnan. We therefore synonymize D. breviscaposum and D. filibracteolum herein. Second step lectotypifications are proposed for both D. bulleyanum and D. ceratophorum.

Thalictrum semiscandens (Ranunculaceae) was described from Lushui County in northwestern Yunnan, China and has been almost totally overlooked since its publication. Based on a critical examination on herbarium specimens (including type material), we demonstrate that it is conspecific with T. trichopus, a species widely distributed in southwestern China (Sichuan and Yunnan). We therefore reduce T. semiscandens to the synonymy of T. trichopus herein. Lectotypification is proposed for T. trichopus.

Based on critical observations on herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants in the wild, we demonstrate that Thalictrum panzhihuaense (Ranunculaceae), described from Panzhihua city in southwestern Sichuan province, China, is conspecific with T. glandulosissimum and that T. tsaii, described from Weixi county in northwestern Yunnan province, China, is extremely close to T. glandulosissimum. We therefore place T. panzhihuaense in synonymy with T. glandulosissimum and treat T. tsaii as a variety of T. glandulosissimum, i.e. T. glandulosissimum var. tsaii. The identity of T. glandulosissimum var. chaotungense is also discussed. Lectotypification is proposed for T. glandulosissimum.

The fir (Abies gracilis) grove (Kamchatka Peninsula, Kronotsky State Nature Reserve) is a unique area for the northern part of the Russian Far East. As a result of revision of herbarium specimens and literature data a list of lichens of the fir grove was compiled, comprising 55 species. Of them, 27 species are new to the Kronotsky Reserve, 30 are firstly reported for the grove. Altogether 36 lichen epiphytes of Abies gracilis are known.

Based on critical observations on herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants in the wild from its type locality, we demonstrate that Thalictrum kangdingense, recently described from Kangding county in western Sichuan province, China, is readily distinguishable from T. xinningense by an array of morphological characters but is actually conspecific with T. megalostigma, a species with its type locality also in Kangding. We therefore reduce T. kangdingense to the synonymy of T. megalostigma herein. The morphological distinction between T. baicalense and T. megalostigma is also clarified.

Taxonomic Studies

Delphinium ellipticovatum, D. tianshanicum and D. winklerianum (Ranunculaceae) share some important characters in leaf division, pedicel pubescence and the shape of the spur of upper sepals. They have been considered to be different mainly in the characters of bracteoles (shape, size, indumentum, and position on pedicels). Our critical observations on herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants, together with numerical analyses of the bracteole characters within and between populations of the species in question, have demonstrated that, in addition to D. kuanii previously already synonymized with D. winklerianum, both D. ellipticovatum and D. tianshanicum are also indistinguishable from D. winklerianum. We therefore further place D. ellipticovatum and D. tianshanicum also in synonymy with D. winklerianum.

A New Species

Cremanthodium atrocapitatum (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) has been previously largely misunderstood, resulting in considerable taxonomic confusion involving several taxa. Based on observations of both herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants, here we clarify the taxonomic identity of this species. The Xizang (Tibet) plants previously referred to C. atrocapitatum are described as a new species, i.e. C. bomiense. Cremanthodium campanulatum var. brachytrichum is found to be very close to C. atrocapitatum rather than C. campanulatum, and is thus treated as C. atrocapitatum var. brachytrichum.

Based on observations on both herbarium specimens (including type material) and living plants in the wild, we demonstrate that Artemisia sichuanensis var. sichuanensis (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) differs from A. sichuanensis var. tomentosa only by the leaves abaxially sparsely pubescent (vs. densely gray arachnoid tomentose). In addition, A. erlangshanensis is found to be identical with A. sichuanensis var. tomentosa, and is thus synonymized herein.
