摘要:

披碱草属Elymus L.是小麦族Triticeae Dumort.中最大的属,全世界共有150多个种,广泛分布于
  温带地区。我国约有80余种(包括鹅观草属Roegneria C.Koch),是披碱草属的重要分布区和多样性分
  化中心。由于披碱草属植物种类繁多、分布广泛、生境多样以及形态变异较为复杂,导致该属在分类上
  存在许多问题。同时,由于地域的局限和地区间交流的缺乏,致使同一种披碱草属植物被不同的学者多
  次发表及同物异名现象的出现。本文对E.antiquus和E.burchan-buddae这两个曾多次被订名的披碱草
  属物种进行了分类订正。

Abstract:

Elymus L. is the largest genus in the tribe Triticeae Dumort., encompassing approxi-
mately 150 species over the world. Species of the genus are widely distributed in the temperate re-
gions, particularly in the northern hemisphere. China is one of the most important world’s distribu-
tion and diversification centers of the Elymus species, with more than 80 taxa (including those clas-
sifted in the genus Roegneria C. Koch) widely occurring in many provinces, particularly in the
western and northern regions of the country. Owing to its abundance in species, extensive distribu-
tion, variable habitats, and complicated morphological variation, taxonomic classification of this ge-
nus has been always problematic. In addition, many traditional taxonomists from different parts of
the world mainly had their research interests in their own regions due to historical reasons, which
largely hampered communication between the regions. As a consequence, some Elymus species were-
described as new species several times by different taxonomists. The present paper reports taxonomic
revision of two common Elymus species, i.e.E. antiquus and E. burchan-buddae. Elymus an-
tiquus is a perennial and tetraploid (2n= 4x= 28) species containing the StStYY genomes. It is
commonly found in western and northwestern China and is also found in mountain area of Nepal.
This species was first described by a Russian agrostologist, S. A. Nevski, based on specimens col-
lected from Tibet, China. Our study indicated that two grass species described as Agropyron microl-
epis Melderis from Nepal and Roegneria parvigluma Keng from Kangding of Sichuan are the syn-
onyms of E. antiquus. Elymus burchan-buddae is also a perennial and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 28)
species containing the StStYY genomes. It is widely distributed in western and northwestern China
and might have its distribution in Nepal and northern India. This species was first described by
Nevski based on specimens collected from Burchan Budai Shan (Kunlun Mountain) in Qinghai. Our
investigation concluded that two species described as Agropyron nutans Keng from Xiahe of Gansu
and Agropyron breviglumis Keng from Shao Wu Shi of Sichuan are the synonyms of E. burchan-
buddae.
