    Most of the Chinese species of Genus Trichosanthes are used as crude drugs. It is found that the pollen morphology of this genus is useful for the identification of the original plants. In this article, pollen morphology of 31 species of Trichosanthes has been treated in a systematic study. All the species are widely distributed in China except T. multiloba Miq. whichoccurs only in Japan. All of them have been examined under the light microscope and scanning electric microscope and the relationships of pollens of different sections in this genus has been verified. Besides this, the pollen morphology of Trichosanthes has been compared with that of Hodgsonia which also belongs to Trichosantheae. Finally, pollen morphology of the 3 kinds of adulterant or substitutes of drug Tien-hua-fen which are of the same Cucurbitaceae family have been compared with that of the genuine ones. Thus, the study of pollen morphology supplies an important basis for the identification of the plants.

    Miyamayomena, a small genus of Compositae, belonging to the tribe Astereae Cass., Subtribe Asterinae O. Hoffm. was sepa-rated from Kalimeris Cass. (Asteromaea Bl.), based on M. sava-tieri (Makino) Kitam. by S. Kitamura in 1937. It is charac-terized by the complete absence of pappus, and thus distingui-shed from preciding genus with shortly pappus, in the pappus absent from all florets. Gymnaster Kitam. had been named for the genus when it was published. Four species in the genus had also been divided into respectively sections, e. g. Sect. Homolepis Kitam. and Sect. Crassifolium Kitam. according to the involucral bracts and the ribbed achenes. Miyamayomena, the correct name of the genus was remaned by Kitamura in 1982, because there was a valid name, Gymnaster Schütt which had been made in the family Gymnosclerodaceae previously. Two Chinese Aster described by Chang in 1935:Aster angustifolius Chang and A. simplex Chang which had been transfered to Gymnaster Kitam. by Ling Young, should have to be renamed as M. angustilolia (Chang) Y. L. Chen and. M.simplex (Chang) Y. L. Chen. On the basis of the achenial and involucral characters,Kitamura's inclusion of the Chinese species M. piccolii (Hook.f.) Kitam with inconspicueously ribbed achenes in Sect. Crassi-folium Kitam. is shown to be incorrect. M. angustifolia(Chang) Y. L. Chen is very similar to M. koraiensis (Nakai)Kitam. in the involucral bracts and distinctly ribbed achenes.Both of them should be included to the same section, e. g. Sect. Crossifolium Kitam. In opposition to those species, M.simplex(Chang)Y. L. Chen is closely allied to M. piccoli (Hook.f.) Ktaim. in having inconspicously ribbed achenes. Both of them is similar to the sect. Crassifolium Kitam. in the structure of the involucral bracts, but the compresse and incon-spiuously ribbed achenes is different from the later. However,they are not suitable to include into any sections known in the genus. So that, Sect. Heterolepis Ling et Y. L. Chen, as a new section is considerable to be set up for them. In addition, to make an emendation of the genus and sections seems to be neccessary. Five species and one subspecies, 3 in China, and 1, M. sava-tieri (Makino) Kitam., 1 subspecies M. savatieri subsp. pygmaea(Makino ex Kitam.) Kitam. endemic to Japan, 1, M. koraiensis(Nakai) Kitam. endemic to Korea. Three sections are described, 1 section is described as new,2 new names are published,a key to sections and species is provided, and distribution of the genus is also shown on the map.

    Our paper, Notes on Fagaceae, is prepared for the compilation of the Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae, and separated into parts, shall be published subsequently. It deals with members of the family, not all, but most of them, from China,and still a few from other countries. The reason is, one would have known, that plant species as well as the moving animals,no national boundaries could keep their limits in distribution,particular to those elements not only very widespread but also markedly discontinous. On the whole, we would prefer taking the treatment of genera and species is conservative. At generic level, for examples, Pasania Oerst. and Cyclobalanopsis Oerst. shall not separated from Lithocarpus Bl. and Quercus L. respectively. In additions to the new combinations here made, new taxa described and descriptionae addendae to some taxa, which had been published previously, discussions and critical notes on those so long had been made misleading or misinterpretation and those of species mixta, dubia and etc. here also given. In this present paper, Trigonobalanus doichangensis is reported once again after Hsu et al. (1981). The plant was found in Sze-Mao, where situates in due south of Yunnan and not far from Laos. The former record reported that it was found in Ling-Tschan, south-west Yunnan, where borders on Burma. We believe comprehensively that T. doichangensis must has been surving in both Laos and Burma, since this species was discovered initially in Thailand. On the fact that the third species T. excelsa is discovered in Colombia, Melville (1982) expressed his view on the pheno-menon of discontinuity in distribution of this genus to-day in the present separation between the continents of Asia and South America. We agree the reasonable explanation given by Melville in accepting the continental drift theory and thence he recons-tructed map of the West Gandwanaland Peninsula of the Permian while he opposing Lozano et al. (1980) and some authors had previously assumed that when the Bering land-bridge became available in the Pliocene, as suggested by Raven & Axelrod (1974) Trigonobalanus migrated northwards from south-east Asia passed into North America and then along the Panama isthmus into South America. We take advantage here of the occasion in order to call attention to the fact that there are another two genera of the most primitive family of Angiosperms i. e. Talauma Juss. and Dugeniodendron Lozano of Magnoliaceae. A large number of species of these two genera occur in south-eastAsian, at the same time, they occupied an area very similar to that of Trigonobalanus in distribution in both hemispheres(Liu 1984). The componant of the genus Dugeniodendron is a group which compries of few species belonged formerly to Talau-ma and Magnolia, as these species possess.distinguishing chara-cteristics that had better separated from the two genera and betreated as an independent genus as G. Lezano has been done.

    There are six species and one variety of genus Asarum in Mt. Emei belonging to three sections in two subgenera. From the foot to the top of the mountains, these species are distri-buted following a proper order, Asarum chingehengense Cheng et Yang, A. caudigerum Hance, A. caudigerum var. cardiophyllum(Fr.) Cheng et Yang, A. delavayi Fr., A. pulchellum Hemsl.,A. caudigerellum Cheng et Yang and A. himalaicum Hook. f. et Thoms. In the region of evergreen broad-leaf forest (800-1500m alt.), five species and one variety are distributed, which make over 85% of all. Here remarkable differentiation can be obserated. The vertical distribution of Asarum in Mt. Emei arein accordance with their syste matic relations.

    This paper deals mainly with the results of observation.investigation and identification on the specimens and their research deta of some wild species of Genus Glycine from Li-aoning Province. The specimens mentioned above had extensi-vely been collected and cultured by Tieling Institute of Agri-cultural Research in recent years. New varieties of wild soybean, i. e. "Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc. var. albiflora P. Y. Fu et Y. A. Chen" and its new variant form "G. soja Sieb. et Zucc. var. albiflora P. Y. Fu et Y. A. Chen f. angustifolia P. Y. Fu et Y. A. Chen", which have a certain position in nature and are more stable in cultural experiments, are publi-shed. The new Chinese name of "G. gracilis Skv. var. nigra Skv." is proposed and the meaning of its correct name——the extent of its characterization is revised.In the present paper, the legitimate and correct name, synonym, its brief description, habitat and distribution of each taxon are recorded in order to identify conveniently. At the same time, a key to the classification of wild species of Genus Clycine from Liaoning Province is provided for application.,However, a further study of the problems on the classification of variant forms of their seeds is considered to be needed.
