    After investigating the external morphology of the genus Parnassia the author realizes that the morphological variance of the staminodes may reflect the main evolutionary course of the genus and utilizes them as the criterion for discriminating the primary infrageneric taxa. The taxa with terete simple or 2-lobed staminodes are considered Primitive, while those with the flattened, lobed or deeply divided ones advanced. The characters of anther and petal margine and number of the cauline leaves are used to discern subsections and series. According to the point of view just mentioned, the classification constructed by Handel-Mazzetti (1941) is adopted here but with considerable addition and emendation. The conspectus of the revised classification for the chinese species is as follows. Sect. 1. Saxifragastrum. Staminodes terete simple, rounded and discoid at the apex. Ser. 1. Saxifragastrum. Basal leaves general 3——5 rarely 2 or 6——9. Ser. 2. Rosulatae. Basal leaves 10——20, rosulate. Sect. 2. Cladoparnassia. Staminodes tereta, 2-lobed at the apex. Sect. 3. Odontohymen. Staminodes flattened, 5——7-dentate at the apex. Sect. 4. Nectarotrilobos. Staminodes flattened, 3-lobed sel-dom 4——5-lobed. Subsect. 1. Nectarotrilobos Connective not projected at the apex. Ser. 3. Luteae. Scape without leaf. Ser. 4. Nectarotrilobos. Scape with one leaf. Ser. 5. Lijiangenses. Scape with two leaves. Subsect. 2. Xiphosandra. Connective projected at the apex. Sect. 5. Nectarobilobos. Staminodes 2-lobed, with equal lob-es. Scape with two leaves. Sect. 6. Allolobos. Staminodes flattened, 5-lobed seldom 6-lobed, with unequal lobes. Sect. 7. Fimbripetalum. Staminodes deeply divided into 3 filiform branches, each ending in a globose gland at the apex. Ser. 6. Amoenae. Petals fimbriate at the lower margin. Ser. 7. Fimbripetalum. Petals fimbriate around the whole margin. Sect. 8. Nectaroquinquelobos. Staminodes deeply divided into 5 filiform branches, each ending in a globose gland at the apex. Ser. 8. Gansuenses. Petals fimbriate at the lower margin. Ser. 9. Nectaroquinquelobos. Petals fimbriate at the whole margin. Sect. 9. Parnassia. Staminodes deeply divided into 7——23 filiform branches, each ending in a globose gland at the apex. The genus Parnassia consists of 9 sections and about 70 species, widespread in alpine regions of northern hemisphere,mainly of Asia. In the present paper 59 species, i. e. 82 percent of the total number of the genus, are recognized from China, 46 being endemic. In the montane regions of southwest China concentrate most of them, about 48 species, belonging to 7 sections, mainly including the two primitive ones, Sect. Saxi-fragastrum and Sect. Cladoparnassia, and the two more advanced ones, Sect. Odontohymen and Sect. Nectarotrilobos. Thus Southwest China is considered to be the centre of distribution and differentiation and also probably to be the contre of origin of the genus Parnassia.

    The genus Phanerophlebiopsis Ching was first proposed in 1965(Acta Phytotax. Sinica 10:115) with four species recognized.It seems quite certain that the genus has the province Kweichow as its centre of distribution and developmont thence it spreads eastwardly to the province Hunan, southwardly to Kwangsi and westwardly to the eastern part of Szechuan. The present paper adds four more species to this endemic genus, thus there being altogether eight species known of the region.

    Abstract560)      PDF(pc) (1717KB)(247)       Save
    In this paper, the observations on te embryogenesis and the process of distribution of starch were reported. Zygote of Korean pine is located at the middle upper part of the arche-gonium, During cell division, the spindle fibre formed by zygo-tes is at an angle to its major axis. The first mitosis produ-ces two free nuclei and during descending, they mitotically divide for the second time. The four free nuclei produced arrange ina tier. The third mitotic division results in eight free nuclei,arranging into two tiers, and the cell wall is formed. Sixteen cells are formed by the fourth division, and arrange in four tiers, forming aproembryo. After one and half months of growth and development, and the embryo selection stage, in the middle of July, it enters the period of young embryo development. In the first ten days of August, the young embryo already undergoes tissue and organ differentiation. At that Time, the starch gradually moves from the micropyle end to the combining site at the opposite end. Seeds ripen at the end of September.

    Cornus subgen. Syncarpea (Nakai) Q. Y. Xiang as defined here includes 4 species, 12 subspecies, 3 varieties, and is mainly distributed in East Asia except a few subspecies extending to South Vietnam and Laos. The taxonomic treatment of subgen. Syncarpea is much controversial owing to the diversity of evaluation of characters. A reasonable system reflecting the infra-subgeneric relationships is still lacking. During the researches,the present author found that the species of the subgenus have various habits and buds, which has not been noticed by the other authors. Proposed here is a new system which divides the subgenus into two sections based on leaf duration and if the flower bud is covered or naked. The species of sect. Syncarpea with evergreen leaves and naked flower buds are mainly distributed in the regions south of 30°N, and those of sect. Japonicae with deciduous leaves and covered mixed buds are mainly distributed in the regions north of 30°N (Fig. Ⅱ). The characters of these two sections are undoubtedly adapted to different climates. Fourteen new combinations are made here and nine names are first reduced to be synonyms in this paper.

    AN ANALYSIS OF THE VARIATION PATTERNS OF INFRA-AND INTER-POPULATIONS OF RHODODENDRON OVATUM

    Abstract376)      PDF(pc) (685KB)(231)       Save
    Our previous paper [1] has been concerned with the infraspe-cific variation of the widespread Rhododendron ovatum (Lindl.)Planch. based upon herbarium materials. We have shown that the species varies considerably in such characters as the shape of leaves, with or without an apical notch, margins of calyx-lobes glabrous or with glandular hairs, etc. The present paper deals with a quantitative analysis of the same morphological characters previously studied of a number of local populations of R. ovatum in order to shed some light on the infra-and inter-population variation patterns of the species. Population samplings were carried out during 1983-1984.The sites of populations were as follows:(1) Hangzhou, Zhe-jiang, (2) Huangshan, Anhui, (3) Lushan, Jiangxi, (4) Chong-an, Fujian, (5) Xingan, Guangxi, (6) Chongqing, Sichuan, and(7) Zhongxian, Sichuan (Fig. 1). As a result of a biometrical analysis of the histograms (Fig. 2), polygonal graphs (Fig. 3-4) and scatter diagrams (Fig. 5), we have found that:1. The depth and width of the apical notches of leaves vary at random as a whole, but the variables of Population No.6 are remarkably less than those of the other populations, and the two characters show more or less a correlation in variation. 2. The shape of calyx-lobes of Population No. 6 tends to be broadest below the middle, while those of the other populations are principally broadest in or above the middle. 3. Any of these populations shows a great variability in the amount of marginal hairs of the calyx-lobes, from entirely gla-brous to possessing very many hairs. But the gaverage amount of marginal hairs of Populations No. 5 is distinctly greater than those of the other populations. In general, there may be two trends of topoclinal variation among the populations examined, from those of the north-eas-tern sites to the south and south-western extremes with regard to (a) a general shift of the shape of calyx-lobes from ovate or broadly ovate to elliptic or obovate, and (b) the increase of average amount of marginal hairs of calyx-lobes per population.But the factors besides climate give rise to these variationaltrends deserve further study. Since R. xinganense G. L. Li and R. cvatum are morphologic-ally inseparable, the former is therefore reduced to be a synonym of the latter.

    This study examines the natural Leymus chinensis grassland in Northeast China. An object of study is Leymus chinensis population which is constructive population. The study results shows that the diurnal change of photo-synthetic rate of Leymus chinensis population was a curve of double peak. The first peak value appeared around ten o'clock in the morning, which were 2.64g CO 2/m 2 (ground)·hr and second peak value appeared around fifteen o'clock in the afternoon,which were 2.29g CO 2/m 2 (ground)·hr. The total net photosyn-thetic rate were 25.74g CO 2/m 2 (ground)·d. There are close relationships between the diurnal change in the photosynthetic rate of Leymus chinensis population and integ-rated effects of environmental factors. The limiting factors influencing the reduction in the photosynthetic rate at the noontime are the lower air relative humidity and soil moisture content.

    The pollen morphology of 52 species and 2 varieties belonging to 21 genera of Rutaceae from China was examined by means of light microscope of which 6 species examined by means of scanning electron microscope. The pollen of Rutaceae belongs to stenopalynous. According to numbere of the opertures and orn-amentation of exine the pollen of the family can be divided into two types:tricolporate and 4-6 colporate. A pollen morphology key has been shown in this paper based on the pollen characters. In addition, new conbination in Zanthoxylum and Fagara and close affinity between Zanthoxylum and Evodia were discussed in the present study The pollen grains of the family prolate-subspheroidal or ob-late,3-6 lobed-circular or subcircular in polar view. Polar axis×equatorial axis=(18.2-72.8)×(12.3-54.6). The smallest pollen are found in Zanthoxylum dimorphophyllum Hemsl., (20.0-25.0) 22.5×15.0(12.5-17.5). The lagest pollen grains are in Micromelum pubescens Bl.,(46.8-72.6)59.8×46.8 (39.0-54.6). Tricolporate pollen type is common in the family, but 4-6 colporate types are rarely found. The colpi are usually long and narrow with membrane The margin of some colpi are usually thickened.Some pollen are syncolpate in polar view, longicolpate with lalongate ora. The colpus and os intersect each other and They form a cross-mark in the equatorial view. Exine about 1.5-4.0 thick,sexine thicker than nexine. The columella layers are clearly visible. The ornamentations of exines are reticulate and striate. Based on numbers of the opertures and ornamentation of exine 21 genera can be divided into two types and four subtypes:1. Tricolporate (1) The tricolporate with reticulate ornametation; (2) Tricol porate with striate ornamentation. 2. 4-6 colporate (1) 4-6 colporate with reticulate ornamentation; (2) 4-6 colporate with striation ornamentation.

    The leaf structure of Populus qiongdaoensis T. Hong et P. Luo sp. nov. and P. adenopoda Maxim. were studied in the light microscope, the fluorescence microscope and the scanning electron microscope. The differences between them are as follows: Populus qiongdaoensis The upper epidermis is uniseriate. The sponge parenchyma cells are arranged loosely and the axes of its long cells are parallel to the leaf surface. Stoma is sunken or not sunken. The outer walls of the papillae subsidiary cells forming long peristomatal rims which overlap the guard cells.The cuticular striae of stomatal apparatus are coarse and spinous. The outer wall of the lower epidermis is sac-like with short spines. Populus adenopoda The upper epidermis is biseriate. The sponge parenchyma cells are arranged compactly and the axes of its long cells are perpendicular to the leaf surface. stoma is level and never sunken. The outer walls of the subsidiary cells with short rims which always not overlap the outer stomatal rims.The striae of the stomatal apparatus are fine and numerous and extended as lateral wings which connect with the wavy striae of lower epidermal cells.

    This paper records 11 species and varieties, including 1 new variety. They belong to 8 genera and 4 families of Cyanop hyta, respectively. They are Chroococcus tenax (Kirch) Hieron var. minor. var. nov.; Gloeocapsa montana Kutzing; Gloeocapsa incrustata Chu; Gloeocapsa ralfsiana (Harvey) Kutzing; Gloeoth-ece rupestris (Lyngb.) Bornet var. minor Jao; Aphanothece saxicola Nageli; Aphanothece castagnei (Breb.) Rabenhorst; Aphanocapsa musicola (Mengh) Wille; Schizothrix lamyi Gamont; Nostoc paludosum Kutzing ex Born et Flahj Stigonema minutum (Ag.) Hass; Stigonema mamillosum (Lyngb.) Ag. ex Born. Six species of them are first reocorded in Jilin Province and one variety are prososed as new to phycological science. In Tundra zone the distribution of these subaeria Cyanop-hyceae are determined by aerial moisture and water content of upper layer of soil.

    The present paper deals with a study of the karyotype analysis of 3 species of genus Podocarpium and chromosome numbers of 2 species of genus Desmodium. The chromosome numbers and karyotypes of 2 species of genus Podocarpium ( P. williamsii (Ohashi)Yang et Huang and P. duclouxii (Pamp.) Yang et Huang) and chromosome numbers of 2 species of genus Desmodium ( D. cauda-tum(Thunb.)DC. and D. yunnanense French.)are reported for the first time. The chromosome numbers of 5 species tested have been found to be 2n=22 uniformly. 24 chromosomes are often found in root-tip cells of P. williamsii, on the basis of observing a lot of cells, I find that chromosome number 5 is easily separable into two parts at the kinetochore. I think, therefore, 24 chro-mosomes are result of the separation of chromosome number 5 caused by testing process, not occured naturally. The karyotype formula are as follows: P. podocarpum, 2 n=2 x=22=18 m+4 sm P. williamsii, 2 n=2 x=22=10 m+12 sm P. duclouxii, 2 n=2 x=22=14 m+8 sm Photomicrographs of the chromosome complement and the idiograms are shown in plate Ⅰ and Figs. Ⅰ. Measurements in microns of the chromosome sets are given in Table 2. Accarding to Stebbins, the karyotype of P. podocarpum belongs to 2A, and those of P. williamsii and P. duclouxii belong to 2B.If the karyotype of P. podocarpum is used as representative of Sect. Podocarpium, those of P. williasii and P. duclouxii as represen-tatives of Sect. Repanda, it is easily concluded that Sect. Podo-carpium is less specialized than Sect. Repanda in genus Podocarpium. To confirm this conclusion, further and more study is needed. Among Sect. Repanda, P. williamsii has more asymmetrical or advanced karyotype. The fact suggests that P. williamsii be more advanced than P. duclouxii. Under the same experiment condition, the size of chromosomes of P. duclouxii is found to be significantly larger than that of P. williamsii. Obashi (1980) found that P. oldhamii (Oliv.)Yang et Huang ( Desmodium oldhamii Oliv.) had large-sized chromo-somes. Combining gross-morphology, Ohashi considered the species as less specialized than the other species of same section.The separation of P. oldhamii from other species of the section as an independant subsection was confirmed correct. Considering the large-sized chromosomes and special gross-morphology (with tuberous root),I think that it is necessary to separats P. duclouxii from other species of the Sect. Repanda as an independent series.

    Five strains of Aleurites fordii Hemsl. were showed clear enzymatic bands by their peroxidase and isoenzyme using the polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis technology. The enzymatic band patterns may be divided into three areas according to the darkness and location of the stained bands. The Rf values of the strong bands are almost the same. It shows the close relation-ship of these strains in a species, but the number of other bands in each area and the Rf values of the bands differ from one strain to another show the differences for the strain's classification. The enzymatic band pattern of A. montana is quite different by the research. It has not only the small number of enzymatic bands but also no obvious strong bands compared with the five strains in question. So this work would become a useful means for classification in Aleurites.
