  • The Taxonomic Consideration of Floral Morphology in the Persicaria Sect

Cephalophilon (Polygonaceae) Min-Jung KONG and Suk-Pyo HONG* Laboratory of Plant Systematics, Department of Biology, Kyung Hee University, Seoul 02447, Korea (Received 29 June 2018; Accepted 12 July 2018) ABSTRACT: A comparative floral morphological study of 19 taxa in Persicaria sect. Cephalophilon with four taxa related to Koenigia was conducted to evaluate the taxonomic implications. The flowers of P. sect. Ceph- alophilon have (four-)five-lobed tepals; five, six, or eight stamens, and one pistil with two or three styles. The size range of each floral characteristic varies according to the taxa; generally P. humilis, P. glacialis var. gla- cialis and Koenigia taxa have rather small floral sizes. The connate degrees of the tepal lobes and styles also vary. The tepal epidermis consists of elongated rectangular cells with variation of the anticlinal cell walls (ACWs). Two types of glandular trichomes are found. The peltate glandular trichome (PT) was observed in nearly all of the studied taxa. The PT was consistently distributed on the outer tepal of P. sect. Cephalophilon, while Koenigia taxa and P. glacialis var. glacialis had this type of trichome on both sides of the tepal. P. crio- politana had only long-stalked pilate-glandular trichomes (LT) on the outer tepal. The nectary is distributed on the basal part of the inner tepal, with three possible shapes: dome-like, elongated, and disc-like nectary.

    Polish Botanical Journal 59(2): 255–261, 2014 DOI: 10.2478/pbj-2014-0031 PERSICARIA NEPALENSIS (POLYGONACEAE), A NEW POTENTIALLY INVASIVE ANTHROPOPHYTE IN THE POLISH FLORA Tomasz Kowalczyk1, Artur Pliszko & Szymon M. Drobniak Abstract. Persicaria nepalensis (L.) Mill. is an annual herb occurring natively in South, East and Southeast Asia, having a range extending from Oceania to East Africa. Here we report the first Polish stand of this species, found in 2011 near Baligród (Western Bieszczady Mountains), followed by the discovery of two more stands in the surrounding area up to 2013. The floristic composition of vegetation impacted by P. nepalensis is presented, and the invasive potential and pathways of introduction of the species are briefly discussed.

  • 2008 (Publication)
    HANBURYANA 3: 3–9 (2008) 3 New names in Persicaria virginiana J.M.H. SHAW c/o Botany Department, RHS Garden Wisley In recent years several Persicaria collections from China and Japan have come into cultivation and appropriate combinations and cultivar names are here provided. The occurrence of Persicaria virginiana in both eastern North America and eastern Asia provides an interesting example of the floristic relationship between the two areas that has been the subject of many publications, that by Li (1952) being particularly comprehen- sive. There has been considerable diversity of opinion as to the rank at which these disjunct populations merit recognition which, along with the equally diverse opinions over how Polygonum L. should be split generically, has led to a large number of botanical names being proposed. Now that Persicaria Mill. has gained wide acceptance and has been adopted for the RHS Plant Finder, it was noticed that no combination has been provided at varietal rank under Persicaria for the Asiatic plant in cultivation. Consequently the following new combination is made: Persicaria virginiana var. filiformis (Thunb.) J.M.H. Shaw comb. nov. Basionym: Polygonum filiforme Thunb., Fl. Jap.: 163 (1784). Synonyms: Sunania filiformis (Thunb.) Raf., Fl. Tellur. 3: 95 (1837). Polygonum virginianum var. filiforme (Thunb.) Nakai, Bot. Mag. (Tokyo) 27: 380 (1909). Persicaria filiformis (Thunb.) Nakai, Fl.
