Abstract

Abstract:

A numerical taxonomic study of the distribution patterns of the total 72 species of

Chinese Viburnum using association-analysis method is presented to add some information for

the regionalization of the Chinese flora. The fact that the center of genetic diversity of Chinese

Viburnum is in the south central part rather than in the southern or southwestern part of China

suggests strongly the subtropical nature of the genus under study. Southwestern Sichuan is the

most concentrated region of western endemic species. Inspite of the topographical complexity

of the Hengduan Mountain Ranges, only a few Viburnum species occur in this region. The

species in Taiwan are largely of subtropical nature and are mostly identical with those on the

mainland. Their distribution patterns show that the island is floristically more closely re-

lated to the mainland of China or even to Japan than to the Malaysian region. As a whole, the

general conclusions reached here correspond with those of C. Y. Wu for the Chinese sperma-

tophytic flora, yet differ in certain respects of minor significance. Attempts have also been

made to relate the distribution patterns of species with physiographic, climatic and vegeta-

tional conditions in our discussion.
