Abstract

The name Cistanche tubulosa s.l. is used from Africa and the Middle East to South and Central Asia and China, however this name is applied to plants that have been shown to comprise a polyphyletic group. Maintaining the use of this species name across distinct lineages is untenable, but inclusion of a type specimen in further analyses is needed to correctly apply names to revised taxa and to evaluate the recent decision to place the name in synonymy under the name C. tinctoria (Forssk.) Beck. Therefore, we proposed a neotype for Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) Wight ex Hook.f. We contextualise the relevant taxonomy with a broader discussion on taxonomic challenges in the genus Cistanche in which several species are traded for herbal medicine, rare, or are of conservation concern.

Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) Wight ex Hook.f.的新分型：一个用于广泛分布的多型植物群的名称

肉苁蓉（Cistanche tubulosa s.l.）这一名称从非洲和中东一直沿用到南亚、中亚和中国，但这一名称所适用的植物已被证明是一个多态群。在不同的世系中继续使用该种名是站不住脚的，但需要在进一步的分析中纳入模式标本，以便正确地将名称应用于修订的类群，并对最近将该名称置于 C. tinctoria (Forssk.) Beck 的同义中的决定进行评估。因此，我们为 Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) Wight ex Hook.f 提出了一个新原型。我们通过对肉苁蓉属分类学挑战的更广泛讨论，对相关的分类学进行了背景介绍，其中有几个物种被作为草药交易、稀有或受到保护关注。

期刊介绍： Phytotaxa is a peer-reviewed, international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic and taxonomic botany, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs, floras, revisions and evolutionary studies and descriptions of new taxa. Phytotaxa covers all groups covered by the International Code of Nomenclature foralgae, fungi, and plants ICNafp (fungi, lichens, algae, diatoms, mosses, liverworts, hornworts, and vascular plants), both living and fossil. Phytotaxa was founded in 2009 as botanical sister journal to Zootaxa. It has a large editorial board, who are running this journal on a voluntary basis, and it is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland , New Zealand). It is also indexed by SCIE, JCR and Biosis. All types of taxonomic, floristic and phytogeographic papers are considered, including theoretical papers and methodology, systematics and phylogeny, monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues, biographies and bibliographies, history of botanical explorations, identification guides, floras, analyses of characters, phylogenetic studies and phytogeography, descriptions of taxa, typification and nomenclatural papers. Monographs and other long manuscripts (of 60 printed pages or more) can be published as books, which will receive an ISBN number as well as being part of the Phytotaxa series.
