Abstract:

Based on specimens as many as available, a quantitative analysis of character varia-
bility and correlation in Lobelia Subgen. Tupa was carried out with the results shown by
pictorialized scatter diagram and histogram. Pollen grains and seed coat were examined un-
der SEM. The classitication of the subgenus in China is revised. Twelve specipes are recog-
nized; a new species, L. foliiformis, and a new subspecies, L. colorata subsp. guizhouensis,
are described; L. taliensis is reduced to a subspecies or L. colorata, which consists of three
subspecies; L. kwangsiensis is treated as a variety of L. davidii in accordance with the treat-
ment made by Lian Yong-shan in Fl. Reip. Pop. Sin.73 (2)
