Taxonomy of Athyriurn Roth Subgen. Athyrium in Yunnan

Abstract

Abstract:

The present paper deals with the taxonomy of the subgenus Athyrium; 15 species

are recognized from Yunnan. Based on the system of Ching & Y. T. Hsieh (1986), two series

(ser. Dissitifolia X. C. Zhang and ser. Wallichiana X. C. Zhang) are described as new. As a

result of morphological study of all the type specimens preserved in PE, KUN and PYU and

observation made in the field by the author, 12 species and one hybrid of China (mainly

from Yunnan Province)published in recent years are reduced to synonyms, to various

species. Moreover, Athyrium brevisorum Moore and A. pachyphlebium C. Chr. are considered

as new synonyms of A. niponicum (Mett.)Hance also.

According to the international code of botanical nomenclature, the name Athyrium

fimbriatum Moore which was used in the recent literature is only a nomen nudum and should

be substituted by Athyrium foliolosum Moore ex Sim. The latter was published effectively by

Sim in his 《A priced catalogue with brief descriptions and cultural remarks etc. of ferns

grown for sale by Robert Sim.》Since Beddome in his 《Supplement to the ferns of British In-

dia, Ceylon and the Malay Peninsula》 added the description erroneously to Athyrium

fimbriatum as “rootstock creeping, stipes solitary distant”, some authors concerning ferns of

Indian Subcontinent and the Himalayas (Hope 1902, Bir & Shukla 1966, etc. )have confused

this species of Athyrium with Pseudocystopteris atkinsonii (Bedd.)Ching or P. andersonii

(Clarke) Ching in the same region.
