Abstract
This study unveils a novel variety of Mucuna macrocarpa, named M. macrocarpa var. oui, discovered in southern Taiwan. This unique variety is characterised by its sparsely appressed-pubescent leaflet abaxial surface, glabrous style, distinguishing it from M. macrocarpa var. macrocarpa. We also designate a lectotype of M. taiwaniana Y.C.Liu & C.H.Ou, and place the species in synonymy under M. membranacea Hayata, based on study of the lectotype and original description. These taxonomic and nomenclatural additions add to our understanding of the genus Mucuna in Asia.
本研究揭示了在台湾南部发现的一个 Mucuna macrocarpa 的新品种,命名为 M. macrocarpa var.这一独特变种的特征是其小叶背面有稀疏的贴伏短柔毛,花柱无毛,与 M. macrocarpa var.我们还指定了 M. taiwaniana Y.C.Liu & C.H.Ou 的一个标本,并根据对标本和原始描述的研究,将该种归入 M. membranacea Hayata 的同义类。这些分类学和命名法的补充增加了我们对亚洲 Mucuna 属的了解。
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.
