中國植物志圖集第12卷

前言

　　The first volume of the English language Flora of China appeared in 1994. In order to increase theusefulness of these text volumes， and to make available the beautiful drawings used for the previouslypublished Chinese language Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae （FRPS）， the Flora of China Illustrationsseries was started in 1998. The illustrations series follows the taxonomy of the text series， but somemodifications in presentation have been made so that FRPS figures can fit into the present scheme.Additional illustrations are also included for taxa not or insufficiently illustrated in FRPS.　　This publication is the 13th in a series of 24 volumes of the Flora of China Illustrations. It accom-panies the Flora of China （FOC） Volume 12， which was published in 2007 and treated 125 genera with1，275 species in 18 familes. This volume of illustrations includes 450 plates representing a total of 937species， 14 subspecies， and 202 varieties in 123 genera in 18 families.　　The illustrations are generally arranged according to the sequence of tribes， genera， and species inFOC Volume 12， except when a figure includes more than one taxon， in which case the sequence is deter-mined by the first species listed in the compound figure. Some highly variable species are illustrated onmore than one plate to show morphological variations. Scale bars are given for some of the plates.　　Names of recognized taxa are in boldface， and author names follow FOC. Each recognized taxon isfollowed by its Chinese name and the pinyin transliteration of that name. Important synonyms and mis-applied names are cited after the pinyin names. Page numbers for the descriptions in FOC and for the figurenumber， volume number， and year of publication of the FRPS volume， as well as names of artists andsources of illustrations in the case of redrawings or reproductions， are listed in parentheses at the end ofeach caption.　　Indexes to figure numbers are given for the Chinese names， their pinyin transliterations， and thescientific names.

內(nèi)容概要

The Chinese flora, with an estimated 31,000 species, is of immense scientific and horticultural importance. Noteworthy, too, is Chinese traditional medicine, which is based on the remarkable plant resources of the country. Descriptions and identification keys for this diverse flora, until now unavailable in English, have been published over the past 15 years in the Flora of China, in conjunction with a separate series, the Flora of China Illustrations. Twenty-eight of the total of 48 text and illustrations volumes have already been published, thanks to an unprecedented and long-standing collaboration between Western and Chinese scientists. 　　Volume 12 of the illustrations series is devoted to 18 plant families, several of which have economic and horticultural importance: Actinidiaceae, source of the kiwi fruit; Balsaminaceae, with the colorful Impatiens genus; Malvaceae, with Gossypium, the genus that provides cotton, and the mallows and hollyhocks; Theaceae, including the tea plant Camellia sinensis, as well as the ornamental camellias; and Vitaceae, notable for Vitis vinifera, the grapevine.
