Abstract

39 Novelties in Aspidistra (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae) with erect stems in the flora of Vietnam: A. quanii, a new species, and A. erecta, a new national record Abstract The paper reports two species of Aspidistra newly discovered in the flora of Vietnam. It includes a description of A. quanii, a species new to science found in the central part of the country and information on four locations of A. erecta in northern Vietnam, a species known earlier only in southern China. The studied species are remarkable for having elongate, more or less erect stems. For both species, detailed analytical colour illustrations, data on morphology, ecology, phenology, tentative relationships, distribution, and provisional conservation status are provided. Additionally, we provide new data on shoot system of A. globosa, a species morphologically close to A. quanii.

... There are over 100 species of Aspidistra and most of them are endemic in Vietnam, and more than fifteen species have been described in the past five years (e.g. Averyanov et al. 2020, 2021, 2024a, 2024b, Chinh et al. 2023. However, the diversity of the genus is still far from well-known and understood, and despite preliminary studies have also been conducted on the genetic diversity of its chloroplast genome (e.g. ...

Aspidistra linearistyla, a new species of Asparagaceae from Ha Giang Province, Vietnam, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to A. cerina, but clearly distinguished by its tubular perianth to 24–26 mm long with a white tube and yellow lobes, and linear pistil that is13–14 mm long and 0.8–1 mm in diameter. The new species is currently known only from the type locality in northern Vietnam. A detailed taxonomic description along with photographs of the diagnostic characters is presented.
... The genus Aspidistra Ker Gawler (1822: 628) inhabits tropical and subtropical forests of Asia, with the highest species diversity in south China and north Vietnam (Li 2004, Tillich 2005, 2008, 2014, Averyanov et al. 2019a, Vislobokov et al. 2019a, 2019c, 2021, Cai et al. 2020, Lu et al. 2020, Hsu et al. 2022, Huang et al. 2022). The genus is currently known to comprise at least 232 species, 209 of which are listed in a revision by Tillich (2023) and 23 more were described thereafter (Kalyuzhny et al. 2022, Roy et al. 2022, Chinh et al. 2023, Ding et al. 2023, Meng et al. 2023, Peng et al. 2023, Averyanov et al. 2024a, 2024b, Chu et al. 2024, Dong et al. 2024, Liang et al. 2024. It is commonly impossible to establish the species identity of the specimens of Aspidistra solely on the basis of the vegetative traits, and the floral features are needed in almost all cases. ...

Background and aims: Asparagaceae subfamily Nolinoideae is an economically important plant group, however, the deep relationships and evolutionary history of the lineage remains poorly understood. Based on a large data set including 37 newly sequenced samples and publicly available plastomes, this study aims to better resolve the inter-tribal relationships of Nolinoideae, and to rigorously examine the tribe level monophyly of Convallarieae, Ophiopogoneae, and Polygonateae. Methods: Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods were employed to infer phylogenetic relationships of Nolinoideae at the genus level and above. The diversification history of Nolinoideae was explored using molecular dating. Key results: Both ML and BI analyses identically recovered five clades within Nolinoideae, respectively corresponding to Dracaeneae + Rusceae, Polygonateae + Theropogon, Ophiopogoneae, Nolineae, and Convallarieae excluding Theropogon, and most deep nodes were well supported. As Theropogon was embedded in Polygonateae, the plastome phylogeny failed to resolve Convallarieae and Polygonateae as reciprocally monophyletic. Divergence time estimation showed that the origins of most Nolinoideae genera were dated to the Miocene and Pliocene. The youthfulness of Nolinoideae genera is well-represented in the three herbaceous tribes (Convallarieae, Ophiopogoneae, and Polygonateae) chiefly distributed in the temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere, as the median stem ages of all the 14 genera currently belonging to them were estimated less than 12.37 Ma. Conclusions: This study recovered a robust backbone phylogeny, providing new insights for better understanding the evolution and classification of Nolinoideae. Compared with the deep relationships recovered by a previous study based on transcriptomic data, our data suggest that ancient hybridization or incomplete lineage sorting may have occurred in the early diversification of Nolinoideae. Our findings will provide important reference for further study of the evolutionary complexity of Nolinoideae using nuclear genomic data. The recent origin of these herbaceous genera currently belonging to Convallarieae, Ophiopogoneae, and Polygonateae provides new evidence to support the hypothesis that the global expansion of temperate habitats caused by the climate cooling over the past 15 Ma may have dramatically driven lineage diversification and speciation in the Northern Hemisphere temperate flora.

Micromorphological characters of leaf epidermis were investigated in 69 species of Aspidistra using scanning electron microscopy. Sculpture of epidermis varies from smooth to verrucose and rugose in the genus. The abaxial epidermis of some species bears papillae, whereas the adaxial surface uniformly lacks the papillae. Sculpture type of epidermis and density of papillae are generally found to be stable characters at a species level. The infraspecific variation of epidermis sculpture, where present, ranges from smooth to verrucose or from verrucose to rugose. Micromorphological characters of leaf epidermis are shown to have potential taxonomic significance in Aspidistra ; in combination with the type of shoot structure, they allow to subdivide the species into 13 groups. The groups are largely incongruent with floral morphological traits. An identification key to the studied species of Aspidistra based on vegetative characters (gross leaf and shoot morphology and characters of leaf epidermis) is presented.

The Bat Dai Son Mountain area belongs to Bat Dai Son Nature Reserve and additionally includes allied territories of Quan Ba District in Ha Giang Province of northern Vietnam. The study of the area was based on cooperation between the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (Vietnam Academy of Sciences and Technology) and the Komarov Botanical Institute (Russian Academy of Sciences). It was funded by the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Vietnam National Foundation for Science and Technology Development and the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. The book describes the history of Bat Dai Son Nature Reserve management, natural conditions of the region, provides new data on plant diversity and vegetation, the survey of studied locations and methodology used, descriptions of main plant communities, survey of the plant key groups and analysis of the threat for the plant diversity. The documented and illustrated annotated plant list is the main part of the monograph. It is based on the study of 2569 collecting numbers with about 8000 voucher herbarium specimens and includes 1146 species belonging to 521 genera and 162 families. Highresolution images of collected herbaria and living plants are available on-line at free access in «Herbarium LE» database. The studied flora is related to the Eastern Himalayas with the influence of western Malesia. Its endemism in the limits of the South China floristic province is 22.3 %, with its own local endemism 14.7 % of all documented species. The total number of plants in studied flora is 3500–4000 aboriginal and invasive species. This is a significant center of local regional plant diversity and the refuge of many strictly endemic forms of life.

Chase et al. (2009) attempted a subfamilial classification for the expanded asparagalean families Amaryllidaceae, Asparagaceae and Xanthorrhoeaceae sensu APG III (2009). In Asparagaceae they recognized seven subfamilies including Nolinoideae Burnett (1835: 985, 1095, 1106). The Nolinoideae circumscribed by them consisted of 16 genera including Nolina Michaux (1803: 207). Since the publication of their paper, the subfamily name has been adopted in many taxonomic papers (e.g. Reveal 2012, Vislobokov et al. 2018, Tanaka 2019, Averyanov et al. 2020, Nguyen et al. 2020, 2021, Meng et al. 2021).

Aspidistra albopurpurea, A. khangii, A. lubae and A. stellata discovered recently are described and illustrated as species new to science. All novelties are local endemics of northern Vietnam and southeastern Laos. Aspidistra albopurpurea is unique in the genus with a white/red stigma in striking contrast to the large milk-white tube base. Aspidistra stellata belongs to a group of species with extraordinary long and narrow lineate perigone lobes. Aspidistra khangii and A. lubae belong to a small group of species having erect, vertical shoots. The first species is easily distinguished by its stout stem, down-curved peduncle and obpyramidal, container-shaped perianth. Aspidistra lubae has characteristic horizontal, peduncles and urceolate flowers. Besides the type variety, A. lubae includes var. lancifolia, which differs in its erect, lanceolate, immaculate, shortly petiolate leaves. Both varieties of A. lubae were found growing, often intermixed, in the same locality in very similar ecological conditions.
