Classification and distribution of Comastoma (Gentianaceae) in Helan Mountains in China by floristic, ecological and geographical approaches

More Information
  • Received Date: 09 November 2006
  • Rev Recd Date: 04 March 2007
  • Four species of the Comastoma
    genus (Geianaceae) in Helan Mountains between Inner Mongolia and Ningxia Province in China have been recognized by morphological and geographical taxonomy. These four species are C. falcatum
    (Turcz.) Toyokuni, C. polycladum
    (Diels et Gilg) T. N. Ho, C. tenellum
    (Rottb.) Toyokuni and C. acutum
    (Michx.) Y. Z. Zhao et X. Zhang. Among them, C. tenellum
    (Rottb.) is a new recorded species and C. acutum
    (Michx.) Y. Z. Zhao et X. Zhang is a new combination. The floristic, ecological and geographical distribution of each species was analyzed and then a new key of Comastoma
    in Helan Mountains and the distribution maps have been generated, which will provide a reference for the revision of this genus and the analysis of the flora in Helan Mountains.
