爵床科一新组合—菲律宾爵床

Justicia pulgarensis, A New Combination of Philippines Acanthaceae

摘要:

查阅模式标本后发现Hypoestes pulgarense Elmer的花单生或少数花聚生于叶腋内，并且花药两室，下方一室具矩。这些特征与枪刀药属(Hypoestes)聚伞花序及单室花药的特征不符，而与爵床属(Justicia)一致。因此提出一新组合——菲律宾爵床(Justicia pulgarensis (Elmer) C. M. Gao & Y. F. Deng)。

Abstract:

After examining the type specimen Elmer 12785, it reveals that Hypoestes pulgarense Elmer is different from other Hypoestes Soland ex R. Br. in its solitary or few flowers clustered in leaf axils and bithecous anthers spurred on lower thecae and is a member of Justicia L. Therefore, a new combination, Justicia pulgarensis (Elmer) C. M. Gao & Y. F. Deng, is proposed herein.
