Molecular Plant Breeding2019, Vol.17(8): 2724-2727
ABSTRACT
In this paper, the distribution of
Opithandra in Gesneriaceae in Guizhou was reported as a
new record species, namely, Opithandra fargesii. It is distributed in
Nuxi Tujia and Miao Township, Jiangkou County, Guizhou Province, with the
longitude, latitude and altitude of 108º51′'10.64″E，27º49′16.2″N and 599 m, respectively.
Its community distributes on the wall of cave mouth. The specimens were
collected and the living plants were dissected and observed. The Opithandra
fargesii was determined based on the comparisons of information in the
search questionnaire of Gesneriaceae plants in Flora Reipublicae Popularis
Sinicae. The morphological photographs of the species were provided and their
distribution was discussed in this study. The recorded distribution of this
species is Wuxi
in Chongqing
and Enshi in Hubei.
Jiangkou County, Guizhou
Province is the third natural distribution of this species. This discovery
enriches the biodiversity data of Guizhou Province and provides a
basis for future research.
