摘要
[Objective] This research aimed to study the taxonomic status of a potential energy plant, E. kansuensis Prokh (Euphorbiaceae). [Method] Fresh plants collected after field survey and specimens were observed and compared to study the morphological characteristics and distribution of E. kansuensis Prokh. and E. ebraceolata Hayata in Subgen. Esula distributed in Jiangsu Province. [Result] There was no obvious morphological distinction but some overlaps between E. kansuensis Prokh. in Flora of China and E. ebraceolata Hayata in Flora of Jiangsu based on indumentum and root characteristics, therefore the standpoint that E. ebraceolata Hayata was a wrong name for E. kansuensis Prokh. in Flora of China proved to be reasonable. However, the description of E. kansuensis Prokh. should be modified as follows: indumentums, present or absent; roots, fusiform to terete; glands, oblong kidney-shaped. [Conclusion] This study is of great significance for the taxonomic identification of E. kansuensis Prokh.
[目的]研究甘肃大戟的分类学地位。[方法]根据野外调查、采集,结合标本观察,对江苏分布的乳浆大戟亚属的甘肃大戟(Euphorbia kansuensis Prokh.)和月腺大戟(E.ebraceolata Hayata)的形态特征和分布区等方面进行了研究。[结果《]江苏植物志》记载的月腺大戟和《中国植物志》的甘肃大戟在形态描述的被毛和根形态这2个重要特征上没有明显区别,且相互有交叉,故《中国植物志》认为月腺大戟是甘肃大戟的误用名是合理的,但是其形态描述应修订为:全株有毛或无毛;根为纺锤形至圆柱状;腺体为肾状长圆形。[结论]该研究对于理清甘肃大戟的分类学地位具有重要意义。
