掌叶橐吾地理分布的订正及对我国植物志书中一些明显问题的述评

Notes on the Geographical Distribution of Ligularia przewalskii and Critical Comments on Some Problems Apparent in Floristic Works of China

摘要:

指出《 中国植物志》77（2）中掌叶橐吾（Ligularia przewalskii）在江苏有分布的记载极可能是将文献中的“Kansu”（甘肃）误为“Kiangsu”（江苏）的结果。该种目前仅知分布于甘肃、青海、内蒙古、宁夏、陕西、山西、四川，在江苏决无分布。这一不经意的疏忽而引起的错误后来不断出现在我国出版的有关植物志书中。对我国植物志书尤其是省级植物志书存在的突出问题及其他一些相关问题进行了述评。

Abstract:

We point out that the inclusion of east China's Jiangsu Province in the distribution of Ligularia przewalskii, a species actually occurring only in Gansu, Qinghai, Nei Mongol (Inner Mongolia), Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Sichuan, most likely is a result of misinterpreting "Kansu (= Gansu)" as "Kiangsu (= Jiangsu)". This inadvertent error first appeared in Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae 77(1), and was widely perpetuated in subsequent publications. Critical comments are made on some problems apparent in floristic works (particularly regional Floras at provincial level) of China.
