    In Early Chinese Phatmacopoeias o' Herbals many medicinal Artemisia, which named "Ai" or "Hao" in Chinese, had been introduced. But they hadn't scientific nomenclatures, in which so much were confused. According to the examinations, "Bai-Hao" (white Artemisia, terrestrial) (Tab. 1:3.5:1), "Ai" (Tab. 6:3, 4), "Bai-Ai" (Tab. 2:1), "Ai-Hao", "Ye-Ai-Hao" (wild Artemisia) (Tab. 5:3, 4) from " Shen Nong Bencao Jing" (Shen Nong's Canon of Materia Medica, about 100-180 A. D., SNCMM), Su Jing, "Tang Xin Xiu Bencao" (The Official Pharmacopoeia in Tang Dynasty, 659 A. D., TOP), Tang Shen-wei, "Zheng Lei Bencao" (revised) (Classified Materia Medica, revised 1249 A. D., CLMM), even in Li Shi-zhen, "Bencao Gan Mu" (Compendium of Materia Medica, 1596 A. D., CMM) and Wu Qi-jun, "Zhi Wu Ming Shi Tucao" (Illustrated Handbook of Plants, 1848, IHP) are the compound names of the species of Artemisia L., which included A. Argyi Lèvl. & Van. and its allies—— A. lavandulaefolia DC., A. verlolorum Lamotte, A. mongolica (Fisch. ex Bess.) Nakai, A. leucophylla Turcz. ex Bess., A. igniaria Maxim., A. verbenacea (Komar.) Kitag., A. indica Willd. and A. princeps Pamp. etc. All of them have the similar characters, such as leaves 1-2-pinnately parted or divided, with white arachnoid hairs at abaxial surface and with similar properties and functi-ons for the drugs. Besides, they distribute mainly in the central and lower valleys of the Huang and Yangtze Rivers. But "Bai-Hao" named in Ai Cheng, "Da Guang Bencao" (Pharmacopoeia in Da Guang of Song Dynasty, 1108 A. D., PDG) should be A. sacrorum Ledeb., and that named in Zhu Su, "Jiu Huang Bencao" (Herbals for foods, 1588 A. D., HF) should be A. scoparia Waldst. & Kit. (Tab.5:2) Besides, "Ai-Ye", "Jia-Ai" (family Artemisia), "Qi-Ai" in above herbals are the same, which was named A. argyi Lévl. & Van. cv. qiai. Most of "Bai-Hao" (white Artemisia, watery), "Shui-Hao" (watery Artemisia), "Liu-Ye-Hao", (Tab. 6:2), "Lou-Hao" (Tab.6:1) and "Lu-hao", are A. selengensis Turcz. ex Bess. and its variety-var. shansiensis Y. R. Ling, in which it's serrulateless along leaf-margine."Liu-Wei-Hao" in CMM and in IHP are both two species of Artemisia L.—— A. dubia Wall. ex Bess. (Tab. 7:1) and A. lancea Van. (Tab. 7:2)."Cao-Hao", "Qing-Hao", (Tab. 2:4, 7:4), except a part of the species with yellowish and greenish florets, "Huang-Hua-Hao" (Tab. 1:1, 7:3), "Xiang-Hao" (fragrant Artemisia), "Chou-Hao" (stink Artemisia), "Xun-Hao", all are Artemisia annua L. Only a part of "Qing-Hao", with yellowish or greenish florets, perhaps is A. carvifolia Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. (—— A. apiacea Hance), which is different from the medicinal "Qing-Hao"—— A. annua L. But the species of "Qing-Hao" and " Huang- Hua- Hao" in CMM and IHP (Tab. 1:1, 2:4, 7:3, 4) are the same, A. annua L., in which, as fact. sa-called "Qing-Hao" (Tab. 2:4, 7:4) were confuced by A. annua L. with the insect-galls on the leaves, branches and stem, to A. carvifolia Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb., which is so-called "Qing-Hao" in HF and in Bao Shan's "Ye Cai Bo Lu" (Herbals for vegetables, 1622 A. D., HV) (Tab.8:2) are different from the species in CMM and IHP (Tab. 3:3, 8:1).It's A. carvifolia Buch.-Ham. ex Roxb. in HF and HV, and it's perhaps Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson with umbel inflorescences in CMM and IHP. "Yin-Chen-Hao", incl. "Xi-Yin-Chen" (from the west), "Bei-Yin-Chen"(from the north), "Shan-Yin-Chen" (from the wild), "Shi-Yin-Chen"(from the stony areas), " Mian- Yin- Chen" (tomentose), "Gia-Yin-Chen" (from family), "Peng-Hao", "Ye-Ton-Hao" (Tab. 9:1, 2), "Zi-Xiang-Hao" (Tab.8:4), most of them are A. capillaris Thunb. and A. scoparia Waldst. et Kit. Both are the well-known drugs in common use, curing the hepatitis and cholecystitis. But the species of a part of "Yin-Chen" (Tab. 2:2, 8:3), which were in CMM and IHP, and in Han Bao-sheng, "Shu Bencao"(Herbals in Sichuan, 934 A. D.) are A. sacrorum Ledeb. and in CLMM so-called "Jiangninfu Yin-Chen" (Tab. 4:4) is Mentha haplocalyx Briq. "Mu-Hao" (Tab. 4:2, 9:3), "Qi-Tou-Hao", "Shui-La-Cai" in TOP, CMM, IHP and other herbals are all Artemisia japonica Thunb. "An-Lü", "An-Lü-Hao" have been considered A. keiskeana Miq. But in CMM and IHP, "An-Lü" (Tab. 3:2, 9:4) should be A. indica Willd. "Liu-Ji-Nu", "Jin-Ji-Nu" in TOP should A. anomala S. Moore. But the original species in CMM and a part of the species in IHP (Tab. 3:4, 10:1) should be Eupatorium japonicum Thunb. or E. Chinese L. and another species, in IHP (Tab. 10:5) should be Artemisia lactiflora Wall, ex DC.
    Besides, there are some so-called "Ai" or "Hao", which do not belong to Artemisia L., but other genera of Compositae or other families in the herbals, for examples, "Qiang-Nian-Ai"(Tab. 2:3, 10:3)—— Crossostephium Chinese (Linn.) Makino ex Cham. & Schlecht.; "Ton-Hao" (Tab. 3:1, 10:4)—— Chrysanthemum coronarium L. var. spatiosum Bailey; "Tie-Gan-Hao" (Tab. 11:1)—— Kalimeris integrifolia Turcz.; "Lin-Hao", "E-Hao" and "Luo-Hao"(Tab. 1:4, 11:2)—— Descurainia Sophia (L.) Webb; "Ma-Xian- Hao", "Jiao-Hao"(Tab. 1:2, 4:1)—— Incarvillea sinensis Lam.

    The present paper reports the mitotic chromosome numbers of 9 species of the genus Viola in China, of which 5 species are new records. The res-ults are as follows: V. biflora L. 2n=12; V. kunawarensis Royle 2n=20; V. prionantha Bunge 2n=48; V. tenuicornis W. Bckr. 2n=24; V. monbeigii W.Bckr. 2n=24; V. inconspicua B1. 2n=24; V. bulbosa Maxim. 2n=24; V. dissecta Ledeb. 2n=24; V. chaerophylloides (Regel) W. Bckr. 2n=24.#br#The chromosome numbers of these species correlate with the shapes of their stigma. The chromosome numbers of several species in Sect. Adnatae are 2n=24, only V. prionantha Bunge is 2n=48. V. kunawarcnsis Roylc which was located in Sect. Adnalae in the Past time has a convex style without margin. Its chromosome number 2n=20 is not identical with Sect. Adnalae Juz., too. The authors think that this species should belong to Soct. Tri-gonocarpae Godr. rather than Sect. Adnatae J. Sect. Pinnala (W. Bckr.) C. J. Wang has the same numbers as Sect. Adnatae.

    Pollen grains of 6 species and 1 variety of Hemerocallis were examined by LM and SEM. Pollen morphology is more or less different for each species. It shows interspecific pollen morphology of Hemerocallis in Nor-thwest is significant for classification. By making a study of them, 6 species and 1 variety can be divided naturally into two groups. The first group consists of Hemerecallis minor Mill., H. esculenta Koidz. and H. ci-trina Baroni. The second one includes H. plicala Stapf, H. fulva (L.) L., H. fulva var. kwanso Regel and H. lilio-asphodelus L. emend. Hyland.#br#There is the difference for pollen morphology of H. minor and H. lilio-asphodelus. Evidence shows it is improper that H. minor was designated as a variety of H. lilio-asphodelus.

    Jiangxi province located in the southeast of China, is an ancient regionin geological history. Since the Mesozoic Period, it has kept relatively stable and advant ageous physical conditions. Its flora didn't suffered dan-ger by the glacier during the Quaternary, therefore, the plant species are very rich, and a great number of relic, ancient and primitive elements have been conserved.#br#This paper studies the origin and development of the flora in geologi-cal periods, the flora may be origined chiefly from an ancient tropical flo-ra of the Mesozoic, and second from the Holarctic flora. There are about 2000 species of the wild woody Plants in the flora, belonging to 102 families and 430 genera. The geographical elements are chiefly composed of the distribution types of Tropical Asia, the Pantropic, Eastern Asia and the North Temperate one. Based on a careful statistics and analysis of various elements, some characters of present woody flora in Jiangxi can be sum-marized as follows:#br#(1) Geographical elements are very complex, which can be divided into 10 distribution types of families (Tab1e 1) and 15 distribution types of genera (Table 3). It is to related extensiyely with most parts of the world.#br#(2) The origin of the flora is ancient and the relic woody Plants are numerous, such as Ginkgo, Podocarpus, Abies, Pseudolarix, Liriodendron, Disanthus, etc. Most of them are monotypic genera of the ancient and relic.#br#(3) The tropic elements are possessed of dominant position, and endemism is relatively high. The tropic families and genera comprise the grea-test proportion of the flora, respectively 72.83%, 52.59%. There are many endemic elements in the flora, with 4 families and 30 genera endemic in China, and also with a gro umber of endemic species in China, thirty endemic species and more in Jiangxi only.#br#(4) Being the floristic convergent and transition from south to north in China, Jiangxi is the north border of the tropical genera, such as Reeve-sia, Anneslea, Musa, etc., and also is the south limit of the strict temperate genera, such as Betula, Fagus, Alnus, etc. The flora has some evident flora features of centre subtropical one in E. China. It is the most closely related to the adjacent flora of Zhejiang flora, and with richness of the common elements, which are many endemic elements to flora of E. China, such as Magnolia amoena, Stewartia gemmata, Sorbus amabilis, etc.#br#(5) The flora is abundant in the rare and imminent extinction plants, because a number of forest have been cut down. We must take effective measures to protect them.

    The paper is a report on the revised system of the genus Salsola L. by V. Botschantzev and certain problems of the origin, differentiation and distributions of the genus Salsola.#br#The genus Salsola L. comprising 27 species in northwestern deserts of Chiaa, is grouped into 6 sections:Sect. Caroxylon (Thunb.) Fenzl, Sect. Malpigipila Botsch., Sect. Cardiandra Aellen, Sect. Arbuscula Ulbrich, Sect. Coccosalsola Fenzl an Sect. Salsola. The most ancient section, Sect, Caroxylon is assumed to originate as early as in the Oligocene Miocene on South Africa. In the Pliocene it penetrated into the region of Red Sea and the process of intense speciation occured there gave bosth the fruticose species of the sections Malpigipila, Belanthera, Arbuscula and Coccosalsola. Later in Asia, a new period of intense speciation resulted in the origin of annual species of the above mentioaed sections, as well as the sections Cardiandra and Salsola comprising only annual species.

    Abstract436)      PDF(pc) (903KB)(219)       Save
    This Paper deals with gross morphology of Zizania L. and its relatives. A total of 8 genera, 12 species, 3 varieties and 1 form were examined not only in some collections of herbarium but also in the field of Nanjing Botanical Garden Mem. Sun Yat-sen. The results, just as other characters, were suggested that genus Zizania may be considered as an isolated subt-ribe Zizaniinae in tribe Oryzeae. There are 4 species, 2 subspecies in the whole world, i. e. Z. aquatica subsp. aqualica, Z. aqualica subsp. brevis(Fassett) S. L. Chen, Z. palustris subsp. palustris, Z. palustris subsp. interior (Fassett) S. L. Chen. Z. texana Hitchc. and Z. latifolia (Griseb.)Turcz. ex Stapf. The evolutionary trend of this genus, Zizania, may bederived from ancient stock, Which also given rise to the genus either Oryza or Zizaniopsis, and therefore parallel evolution may have takenplace in tribe Oryzeae.

    The genus Changium was estabilshed by H. Wolff (1924) on the basisof Mr. Chang Tsung-Sü collected specimen no. 13 from Huzhou of Zheji-ang province in China. This specimen had been named Changium smyrni-oides Wolff as type species of the genus. The genus Changium is used inmemory of collector Chang Tsung-Sü. The endemic genus has only onespecies in China. The systematic position of the genus (Umbelliferae) isbelong to Apioideae Drude, Smyrnieae Koch. It is mainly distributedEast China at latitude 28°-32°N. and 113°-122°E., this is the centre ofnatural distribution area. The more detail researched in classificatoryhistory, comments from the viewpoints of "Ben-cao", the morphologicaland anatomical characteristics, the geographical distribution, the biolo-gical characteristics and some chemical composition in the present paper.#br#This is the important information for researching the systematicposition of the genus in Umbelliferae and exploiting and useing resource.

    All of the internal literatures which record Paeonia obovata Maxim., so called, native to the Northeast, described it's flower is red or white.The present paper, dealing with the studies of morphology, anatomy, cytology, geograbhical distribution and developmental rhythm of the peony, comfirms that the red flower type is the real Paeonia obovata Maxim. with morphological features: red petals;light-green filaments, less number of staments; grass-green leavies rising up, and the white type is the Paeonia japonica Miyabe et Takeda with morphological features different from the frormer: white petals; black-purple filaments, more number of staments; black-green leavies extending horizontally. P. obovata blooms in the first ten days of June and is distributed over Soviet: Far-east region, China:the Northeast and the margins of it's near regions, Korea, and Japan. P. japonica blooms in the first twenty days of May and is merely geographica-lly limited to China: Mount. Chang-bai, Korea, and the south part of Japan.

    Uising the light and scanning electronic microscopy, all stages of the development of gametophytes of Phyllitis japonica Komarov, Aspleniaceae from China have been studied. The spore is bilateral and monolete with a prominent perine. The pattern of spore gemination seems to be of centripetal. The germ filaments develop 2-8 cells, uniseriate. The prothallial develo-pment is of the Aspidium type. The prothalli are hairy, broad-round cordate and monoecious mainly. The antheridia are large. The necks of archegonia are slender and the basal parts of that are swelling. As compared with the main characters of gametophytes in Phyllitis scolopendrium (L.) Newman, the authors suppose they would be in a synonym.

    The estimations of primary production of phytoplankton in the pondin Sanjiang Plain were carried out in 1987 with white-black bottle method.The correlation between primary production and the major ecologicalfactors are also discussed. On sunny days, the water layer with the maximum production is atthe depth of 50% transparency, where the light intensity is about 200001x. The compensation depth changes with the climate. The correlation between primary production and biomass, Mg 2+ is positive linear dependence. The P/B coefficient of phytoplankton under aunit of water surface is 177.7 during growth seasons. The rate of utiliza-tion of total radiation by phytoplankton is 0.31%. Nitrogen ip the wateris the Limiting factor for primary production of the pond.

    In order to obtain basic data for clarifying Population Energeties in the Leymus chinensis grassland ecosystem in Northeast China, determina-tion of calorific values were carried ou ton the Legmus chinensis population which is the constructive vegetation in that grassland. Furthermore, energy storage in population materials on a unit land area were calcula-ted to ascertain its characteristic of energy storage under the natural con-dition.#br#As the results of this study, ear of the Legmus chinensis population possessed the highest calorific value among the various organs, that was 4898.28cal/gDW and living shoot appeared maximum calorific value among the components of the Legmus chinensis population, which was 4711.86 cal/gDW. Most of the solar radiation captured by the Legmus chinensis population was stored up its Under-ground for living through the winter safely and providing sufficient energy to sprouting of its Above-ground at the beginning of the growth season, next year.

    Athyrium sect. Strigoathyrium Ching et Y. T. Hsieh is a natural group in the genus. All the species of this section are common in morphological features distinguished from other groups by the presence of the long slender spine-like processes on the upper surface along rachis, costa and costule, and thin tecture of the blade with or without gemmae near the apex of the rachis. It could be divided into two series based on the spore with or without episporium. Ser. 1. Pectinata Ching et Y. T. Hsieh, only one species, rhizome long creeping, spore with episporium; Ser. 2. Strigillosa Ching et Y. T. Hsieh, there are twenty-two species in China, all have a erect rhizome except A. chingianum Z. R. Wang et X. C. Zhang ex X. C. Zhang, and the spores all without episporium.#br#In this section there are four species extending west to India, Skimm, Bhutan, Nepal, and three reaching east to Japan. The distribution center of this section where may be in Henduang Mount regions, there are eight endemic species.
