B, 43(3), pp. 79–86, August 22, 2017 Pogonia subalpina (Orchidaceae): a new species from Japan Tomohisa Yukawa* and Yumi Yamashita Tsukuba Botanical Garden, National Museum of Nature and Science, Amakubo 4–1–1, Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305–0005, Japan *E-mail: [email protected] (Received 11 May 2017; accepted 28 June 2017) Abstract Pogonia subalpina T. Yukawa & Y. Yamashita (Orchidaceae) is newly described from marshy, subalpine grasslands of central and northern parts in Honshu, Japan. This species is simi- lar to Pogonia japonica Rchb. f. and P. minor (Makino) Makino, but can be distinguished in flower by its short hairy crests on the disk of the labellum mid-lobe, by its glabrous abaxial surface of the labellum, and by its single, broad, purplish pink band along the mid-vein of the petals. Nucleotide sequence divergences among the three entities in the nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS and the plastid trnK 5’ intron regions warrant independent species status of the new entity. Key words : Japan, new species, Orchidaceae, Pogonia, taxonomy. Introduction ica and P. minor has been generally recognised (Yukawa, 2015). However, another entity that The genus Pogonia Juss. is a small orchid does not match morphologically with either of genus in which four species, i.e., P. japonica them was tentatively designated a Japanese name Rchb. f., P. minor (Makino) Makino, P. ophio- “Miyama-tokiso” (Takahashi, 1987).

Its identity was confirmed by morphological comparison and DNA extractions from herbarium specimens collected between 1914 and 1938. Results from the molecular phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that L. hostifolia belongs to the L. makinoana complex. In comparison with other members of the L. makinoana complex, the broadly ovate labellum, short dormancy period, and flowering from November to March are unique characteristics of L. hostifolia. Results from the molecular phylogenetic analyses also suggested that L. hostifolia has had a long-isolated history in the Bonin Archipelago and probably migrated from temperate East Asia.

  • Forest Structures, Composition, and Distribution on a Pacific Island, with Reference to Ecological Release and Speciation!
    Pacific Science (1991), vol. 45, no. 1: 28-49 © 1991 by University of Hawaii Press. All rights reserved Forest Structures, Composition, and Distribution on a Pacific Island, with Reference to Ecological Release and Speciation! YOSHIKAZU SHIMIZU2 AND HIDEO TABATA 3 ABSTRACT: Native forest and scrub of Chichijima, the largest island in the Bonins, were classified into five types based on structural features: Elaeocarpus­ Ardisia mesic forest, 13-16 m high, dominated by Elaeocarpus photiniaefolius and Ardisia sieboldii; Pinus-Schima mesic forest, 12-16 m high, consisting of Schima mertensiana and an introduced pine , Pinus lutchuensis; Rhaphiolepis­ Livistonia dry forest, 2-6 m high, mainly occupied by Rhaphiolepis indica v. integerrima; Distylium-Schima dry forest, 3-8 m high, dominated by Distylium lepidotum and Schima mertensiana; and Distylium-Pouteria dry scrub, 0.3­ 1.5 m high, mainly composed of Distylium lepidotum. A vegetation map based on this classification was developed. Species composition and structural features of each type were analyzed in terms of habitat condition and mechanisms of regeneration. A group of species such as Pouteria obovata, Syzgygium buxifo­ lium, Hibiscus glaber, Rhaphiolepis indica v. integerrima, and Pandanus boninen­ sis, all with different growth forms from large trees to stunted shrubs, was subdominant in all vegetation types. Schima mertensiana , an endemic pioneer tree, occurred in both secondary forests and climax forests as a dominant canopy species and may be an indication of "ecological release," a characteristic of oceanic islands with poor floras and little competitive pressure. Some taxonomic groups (Callicarpa, Symplocos, Pittosporum, etc.) have speciated in the under­ story of Distylium-Schima dry forest and Distylium-Pouteria dry scrub.

  • Is Glyphis Cicatricosa an Indicator for 'Global Warming'
    The Lichenologist 49(3): 291–296 (2017) © British Lichen Society, 2017 doi:10.1017/S0024282917000111 Is Glyphis cicatricosa an indicator for ‘global warming’ or an ‘urban heat island’ effect in Japan? During the course of floristic studies of Japa- which are 6–12-locular with lenticular cells, nese lichens, Glyphis cicatricosa Ach.

The specimen collected from Phellodendron amurense Rupr. in a suburban Tsukuba-city agrees with the morphological area of Tsukuba-city (36°06'03''N, 140° and chemical features mentioned above, with 06'43''E).
