A new species of Scutellaria (Scutellarioideae, Lamiaceae) from Sichuan Province in southwest China.

ABSTRACT: Scutellaria wuana, a new species discovered from a xeric valley in Muli County of Sichuan Province in southwest China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, the new species shares similarities with S. mairei, but can be readily distinguished by a suite of morphological characters including a white-pubescent erect stem, conspicuous leaf petioles, and a yellow corolla with a trapeziform lower-middle lip lobe. The habitat and distribution of S. wuana are also distinctive. The position of the new species within Scutellaria is examined in a phylogenetic context using the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers. Additionally, we examine leaf epidermal and pollen grain micromorphology of the new species and putative relatives.

Elsholtziazhongyangii (Lamiaceae), a new species from Sichuan, China.

Project description:Elsholtziazhongyangii (Lamiaceae), a new species from Sichuan Province, China, is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to E.feddeif.feddei, but it can be easily distinguished from E.feddeif.feddei by smaller corolla (3.2-3.5 mm vs. 4.5-5.3 mm), bract indumentum (glabrous, except margin ciliate vs. villous, especially on veins abaxially, glabrous adaxially) and bract stalked (ca. 1.2 mm vs. sessile). Phylogenetic analyses, based on two nuclear ribosomal (ETS, ITS) and five plastid (rbcL, matK, trnL-F, ycf1, ycf1-rps15) regions, confirmed that the new species formed a monophyletic clade with robust support. The new species is currently known from western Sichuan.

Isodonxiaoluzhiensis (Lamiaceae, Nepetoideae), a new species from Yunnan, southwest China.

Project description:Isodonxiaoluzhiensis, a new species of the tribe Ocimeae in family Lamiaceae, is described and illustrated. The new species is known only from the type locality, Xiaoluzhi village in Luzhijang dry-hot valley of Yimen County, central Yunnan, southwest China. It is characterized by having a procumbent habit, gracile stems and branches, relatively small leaves and flowers, and the phenology of flowering in winter. The morphological comparisons with its putative closest relatives (I.adenanthus and I.hsiwenii) are also presented.

Eutrema giganteum (Brassicaceae), a new species from Sichuan, southwest China.

Project description:Eutrema giganteum (Brassicaceae), a new species from Hengduan Mountains in Sichuan Province, southwest China, is described, and its relationships to the closely related E. yunnanense is discussed based on morphological, cytological, and molecular data. It is similar morphologically to E. yunnanense but is readily distinguished by having robust (vs. slender), erect (vs. decumbent), and branched (vs. mostly simple), and rather tall stems (60-110 cm vs. 20-60 cm); curved (vs. straight), smooth (vs. torulose), and shorter fruit (5-8 mm vs. 8-15 mm); and fewer ovules per ovary (1-4 vs. 6-10). All examined individuals from different populations of E. giganteum clustered into a single clade sister to E. yunnanense in phylogenetic analyses using the combined nuclear ITS and plastid DNA datasets. Our cytological studies revealed that the chromosome number of E. giganteum is 2n = 44, with a genome size of 1160 (±8) Mb, while that of E. yunnanense is 2n = 28, with a genome size of 718 (±15) Mb. Multiple lines of evidence support the recognition of E. giganteum as a distinct species well differentiated from E. yunnanense.

Hemipiliaavisoides (Orchidaceae), a new species from Sichuan Province, China.

Project description:A new orchid species, Hemipiliaavisoides, is described from Songpan County and Maoxian County, Sichuan Province, China. Morphologically, H.avisoides is most similar to H.hui, but can be distinguished by the combination of its involute middle lip lobe that is smaller than the lateral lobes, floral bracts that are 5 mm long and are always shorter than the ovary, a leaf that is appressed to the substrate and is adaxially green with white lines along 7-9 principal veins and the subterranean stem with a solitary sheath at its base. The floral morphology of H.avisoides is presented by utilising in vivo micro-CT scanning and 3D visualisation.

The complete chloroplast genome of Scutellaria meehanioides (Lamiaceae) from Shaanxi Province, China.

Project description:Scutellaria meehanioides C.Y.Wu is a medicinal perennial herb native to China. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the S. meehanioides was determined and assembled using next generation sequencing methodologies. The complete genome is 152,484 base pairs (bp) in length and has an overall GC content of 38.4%. The chloroplast genome contains, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 83,859 bp, small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,467 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,029 bp. The genome of S. meehanioides contains 133 genes, including 87 protein-coding, 38 tRNA,and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis fully resolved S. meehanioides in a clade with S. orthocalyx. This study provides useful information for future genetic study of S. meehanioides.

Schnabeliajiuzhaigouensis (Lamiaceae, Ajugoideae), a new species from Sichuan, China.

Project description:Schnabeliajiuzhaigouensis C. Liu, F. Zhao & C.L. Xiang, a new species from north-eastern Sichuan, China, is described, based on both morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence. Morphologically, the new species is mostly similar to S.terniflora, but can be readily distinguished by its habit, ovate to lanceolate-ovate leaf blades, the presence of 5-8 lateral veins on each side of the mid-rib and distinct characteristics of the floral structure, including oblong upper lip and lateral lobes of the lower lip, with the middle lobe being cuneate. In addition, the nutlets are puberulent and lack reticulate venation. Molecular phylogenetic analyses place the new species at a basal position within the genus Schnabelia. The new species is categorised as Data Deficient (DD) according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria. A key to all species of Schnabelia is also provided.

Characterization of the complete plastid genome of Scutellaria microviolacea (Lamiaceae), a species endemic to Yunnan Province of China.

Project description:The complete plastid genome of Scutellaria microviolacea C. Y. Wu was firstly reported. The full length of the plastid genome was 152,092 bp and comprised of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,090 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,534 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,234 bp. A total of 131 genes were encoded, including 87 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the S. microviolacea plastid genome was 38.3%. Further phylogenetic analysis based on 18 accessions inferred that the genus Scutellaria can be divided into two clades, and S. microviolacea is evolutionarily close to Scutellaria tsinyunensis. Our study provided essential genetic resources for further studies on the evolution and genetic diversity of the genus Scutellaria and its related taxa.
