Abstract:

 About 22 species of the genus Scorzonera L. are so far known to occur in China.
Among them, S. pamirica Shih is described as new and 3 species, S. tau-sahyz Lipsch. et Bosse,
S. pubescens DC. and S. transiliensis M. Pop., are new records to China.  Four names in the
literature are reduced to synonyms,and some wrong identications in Chinese botanical literature
are pointed out in this work.  Some species with considerable variation in morphology, such as,
S. pseudodivaricata Lipsch. and S. sinensis Lipsch. ex Krasch., are also discussed here.
