中国苦苣苔科植物的物种数量在过去的十余年内出现了令人惊讶的飞速增长,同时自2011年以来属一级水平上的大范围修订使得我国苦苣苔科植物物种系统位置的变动频繁而巨大,导致中文文献中使用的学名和对应的中文名称出现了相当程度上的混...中国苦苣苔科植物的物种数量在过去的十余年内出现了令人惊讶的飞速增长,同时自2011年以来属一级水平上的大范围修订使得我国苦苣苔科植物物种系统位置的变动频繁而巨大,导致中文文献中使用的学名和对应的中文名称出现了相当程度上的混乱。本文整理了自专著《中国植物志·第69卷》《Flora of China:Vol. 18》《中国苦苣苔科植物》《华南苦苣苔科植物》和前一阶段归纳的我国苦苣苔科植物生物多样性文献付梓和发表以来,正式报道的所有中国苦苣苔科植物新分类群,提供了物种修订前后的新旧物种名的对照,为部分发表时未指定中文名称的新分类群新拟了中文名,对出现了混淆的物种中文名进行了梳理,以期为国内研究者更好地引用和使用我国苦苣苔科植物的中文名称奠定基础。截止2019年1月,我国已经正式报道和合格发表的苦苣苔科植物物种数已经有719种(含种下等级)。在新命名规则背景下梳理的中国苦苣苔科植物名录将在中国苦苣苔科植物保育中心(GCCC)的网站(http://gccc.gxib.cn)上实时更新。展开更多
