Justicia poilanei Benoist, A Newly Recorded Species of Acanthaceae from China

摘要:

报道中国爵床科(Acanthaceae)爵床属一新记录种——毛萼爵床(Justicia poilanei Benoist)。该种分布于云南南部石灰岩地区,在标本馆长期被鉴定为野靛棵(Justicia patentiflora Hemsl.),但与后者的区别在于它的花冠长约2 cm,花萼裂片三角状卵形和花药基部不具芒状附属物。

Abstract:

Justicia poilanei Benoist is reported as a new record to China, and occurs in limestone hills at 1000-2400 m in southern Yunnan Province. It was identified as Jusicia patentiflora Hemsl. in herbaria, but differs from the latter by its calyx triangular-ovate, corolla ca. 2 cm long, and anther-thecae muticous at base.
