Abstract
Summary
A new rank and combination, Berberis setifolia (Ahrendt) Bharali, B.Hajong & Harber is proposed for B. macrosepala var. setifolia Ahrendt, based on a morphological examination of herbarium specimens from Me La, NE Bhutan and Se La, Arunachal Pradesh, India and living plants from Se La. The treatment of B. macrosepala Hook.f. & Thomson by Ahrendt in his two monographic treatments of Berberis (i.e. Ahrendt 1941, 1961), is shown to not fully reflect the protologue, which describes the taxon as not just one-flowered, but also fascicled. Some specimens that Ahrendt cites, including those of the three varieties of B. macrosepala he proposed, are determined to belong to other species, some of which are unrecognised. Herbarium specimens of Ahrendt’s B. macrosepala var. setifolia from Bhutan are shown to be the same as those of a hitherto unidentified species from Arunachal Pradesh. A detailed taxonomic description, notes on habitat and ecology, and colour photographs are provided for B. setifolia.
根据对来自不丹东北部 Me La 和印度阿鲁纳恰尔邦 Se La 的标本馆标本以及来自 Se La 的活体植株的形态学检查,为 B. macrosepala var.macrosepala Hook.f.&汤姆森(Thomson)的处理并不能完全反映原植物的特征,原植物不仅描述了该分类群为单花,而且还描述了其簇生的特征。阿伦特引用的一些标本,包括他提出的大花蝙蝠蛾的三个变种的标本,被确定为属于其他种,其中一些是未被承认的。标本馆中阿伦特从不丹采集的 B. macrosepala var.为 B. setifolia 提供了详细的分类描述、生境和生态学说明以及彩色照片。
期刊介绍:
Kew Bulletin is an international peer-reviewed journal for the taxonomy, systematics and conservation of vascular plants and fungi. Papers on conservation, evolution, palynology, cytology, anatomy, biogeography and phytochemistry are considered, where relevant to taxonomy and systematics. Review papers on topics appropriate to the journal are invited. The journal is richly illustrated with line drawings and photographs, and also features a Book Review and Notices section. Four parts (c. 640 pp) are published each year.
