Abstract In the present revision of the sect.Cheiropsis are recognized 22 species and 23 variet-
ies , which are keyed , described , and illustrated , and the classification of this section proposed by
Wang (2000b)is followed with no change.The brief taxonomic history , the evolutionary trends of
the important morphological characters , and the geographical distribution of the section are given.
The phenomenon that the pedunculate , bibracteate cyme is reduced to a single only pedicellate flow-
er in the Clematis is discussed , and five modes of origin of the only pedicellate flower are dis-
cerned.
Key words Clematis;Sect.Cheiropsis;Taxonomical revision;Only pedicellate flower
摘要 笔者在中国科学院植物研究所标本馆和欧 、美一些著名植物标本馆研究了铁线莲属植物标本之
后 ,完成了此属绣球藤组的修订 , 确定此组含有 22 种和 23 变种。本文还提供了组下分类群的检索表 、
各种植物的形态描述 、地理分布 、生长环境等 ,并附有多幅插图。笔者曾在 2000 年根据此组的重要形态
特征的演化趋势制定出一个新分类系统 ,此系统在本修订中继续得到应用。此组重要形态特征的演化
趋势的原始状态是:萼片平展 , 呈倒卵形 ,顶端圆形或钝 , 外面边缘无狭短绒毛带;雄蕊花药呈长圆形或
狭长圆形 , 药隔顶端不突出;花组成具花序梗和 2 枚分生苞片的聚伞花序 , 生于当年生枝叶腋。衍生状
态是:萼片斜上展或近直立 , 变狭呈长圆形 、长椭圆形 、披针形或倒披针形 , 顶端急尖 、渐尖或渐狭 ,外面
边缘出现狭短绒毛带(仅文山铁线莲一种);雄蕊花药呈条形 , 药隔顶端有小突起;花组成具花序梗和 2
苞片合生形成总苞的聚伞花序 ,或花单生 , 只具花梗 ,而无花序梗和苞片 ,自老枝的腋芽中生出。在铁线
莲属近 300种植物中 , 具有上述原始特征的只有 6 种:短梗铁线莲 C.brevipes 、美花铁线莲 C.potaninii 、
绣球藤 C.montana 、薄叶铁线莲 C.gracilifolia 、丽叶铁线莲 C.venusta 和金毛钱线莲C.chrysocoma。这6
种中有 5种特产我国西南部横断山区一带 ,只 1 种(绣球藤)分布较广 ,东自我国台湾省向西经过我国亚
热带山区分布到喜马拉雅西部。此外 ,简要回顾了本组的分类历史 , 绘出本组分布区图 , 以及讨论了铁
线莲属中具花序梗和二苞片的聚伞花序在此属各演化路线中出现的简化成仅具花梗单花的现象。

The sect.Cheiropsis was founded by de Candolle(1818), consisting of C.cirrhosa L., C.
semitriloba Lag., C.balearica Rich., C.napaulensis DC., and C.montana Buch._Ham.ex
DC.In his classification of the Clematis , Prantl (1888)incorrectly transferred C.montana to
sect.Flammula subsect.Rectae there with such unrelated species as C.apiifolia DC., C.son-
garica Bunge , C.chinensis Osb., C.flammula L.etc.Prantls above treatment was followed by
Schneider(1906), who esteblished a subsection for C.montana under sect.Flammula , and by
 2002-01-30收稿 , 2002-03-19收修改稿。

Rehder &Wilson(1913).Rehder &Wilson(1913)placed C.fargesii Franch.(=C.potaninii
Maxim.)in sect.Flammula ser.Vitalbae together with such unrelated species as C.apiifolia
DC., C.grata Wall., C.gouriana Roxb.ex DC., and C.brevicaudata DC., and this treat-
ment was followed by Johnson (1997)and Grey_Wilson (2000)in their recent revisions of the
Clematis.In his revision of the Chinese Clematis , Handel_Mazzetti (1939)followed Schneider to
place the subsect.Montanae under sect.Flammula , but for the first time put C.montana with its
allies C.gracilifolia , C.acerifolia , C.brevipes , C.potaninii , C.chrysocoma , C.william-
sii , C.fasciculiflora and C.napaulensis together into the same group.So , the main content of the
sect.Cheiropsis was for the first time ascertained by him , though these species were included in
subsect.Montanae under sect.Flammula instead of sect.Cheiropsis.This content was adopted by
Tamura (1956 , 1967 , 1995), Chang(1980), and Wang (2000b)in their treatments of the sect.
Cheiropsis.Based on the sepals of C.heynei lacking a narrow strip of velutinous indumentum on
the margin of the abaxial surface , this species was considered to be a member of the sect .Cheiropsis
by Wang(2000a).In 2000 , I (Wang , 2000b)proposed a classification for the sect.Cheiropsis ,
and in this paper it is adopted with no change.
In the first half of the nineteenth century , two English botanists successively noticed the same
phenomenon that the flowers of Clematis montana resemble those of Anemone sylvestris.In the pro-
tologue , Don (1825)gave the interpretation about the meaning of the specific epithet of his new
species , Clematis anemoniflora D.Don (=C.montana)as follows :`Flores patuli , albi , fere
Anemonis sylvestris .Just as Don did , Loudon(1842)also provided similar interpretation for the
name of his new section , § Anemoniflora , founded on the basis of C.montana :` Derivation.
From the flowers being like those of the Anemone sylvestris .In fact , among the some three hundred
species of the Clematis(Johnson , 1997 , Grey_Wilson , 2000)there are only six species , i.e.C.
brevipes , C.potaninii , C.montana , C.gracilifolia , C.chrysocoma , and C.venusta with
flowers similar to those of the genus Anemone , which is a close ally of Clematis , and more primitive
than it.In these species just mentioned , the flowers are bisexual , the sepals are petaloid , spread-
ing , membranous in texture , obovate in outline , at apex rounded , adaxially glabrous , abaxially ap-
pressed_puberulous , without narrow velutinous margins , and the stamens are glabrous with oblong or
narrowly oblong anthers(only in some varieties of C.montana and C.venusta , the anthers are
sometimes linear in outline)(Wang , 2000b).Possessing such a syndrome of primitive features ,
these six species might be the early descendants of the extinct primitive group of the Clematis
(Wang , 1998), and possessing such archaic species , the sect.Cheiropsis may be the extant primi-
tive group of that genus.
The morphology of the sepals and stamen anthers of the six species mentioned above may repre-
sent the primitive phase of the evolutionary trends of the section.On the other hand , the following
floral morphological characters such as the ascending or nearly erect , narrowed , obovat_oblong , long
elliptic , lanceolate , or oblanceolate sepals with acute , acuminate , or attenuate apexes and narrow
strips of velutinous indumentum on the margin of the abaxial surface(C.wenshanensis), the linear
anther without or with projected connective (C.heynei , C.montana var.grandiflora etc.)may
represent advanced phace.
In the genus Clematis , flowers are usually arranged in pedunculate , bibracteate cymes arising
from leaf axils or apexes of hornotinous branch.However , in most species of sect.Cheiropsis , the
flowers are either solitary , only pedicellate(C.montana etc.)or in pedunculate , bibracteate(C.

williamsii)or involucrate(C.cirrhosa), 1_flowered cymes arising alone or with leaves from axil-
lary buds of old branch.These phenomena are considered to be `secondary and an adaptation to the
temperate climate .(Tamura , 1967).In subsect.Cirrhosae , the two bracts of the cyme are usual-
ly connate into a campanulate structure , and this phenomenon is regarded as an advanced state.
The phenomenon that the pedunculate , bibracteate cyme is reduced to a single only pedicellate
flower occurs in several diverse evolutionary lines of the Clematis , such as in subsect.Acerifoliae
(C.acerifolia), subsect.Montanae(C.montana , C.khasiana etc.), and subsect.Fasciculi-
florae (C.fasciculiflora)of sect.Cheiropsis , in sect.Fruticella [ C.viridis(W.T.Wang &M.
C.Chang)W.T.Wang] , in subsect.Orientales of sect.Meclatis [ C.tangutica (Maxim.)
Korsh.] , in sect.Viticella (C.patens Morr.&Decne.), in ser.Pogonandrae(C.pogonandra
Maxim.etc.)and subsect.Bebaenanthera(C.barbellata Edgew., C.pseudopogonaldra Finet&
Gagnep.etc.)of sect.Viorna , in sect.Atragene [ C.alpina (L.)Mil., C.macropetala
Ledeb.etc.] , and in sect.Pseudanemone (C.africolineariloba W.T.Wang etc.).The modes
of the origin of the only pedicellata flower in the genus Clematis may be discerned as follows:(a)
Two only pedicellate flowers alone or with leaves arise from an axillary bud of an uppermost leaf of
the stem as in C.acerifolia;(b)The only pedicellate flowers with leaves together arise from an ax-
illary bud of old branch as in C.montana , C.barbellata , C.alpina etc.;(c)The only pedi-
cellate flowers singularly or in pair arise from the leaf axils of horotinous branch as in C.khasiana ,
C.pogonandra etc.;(d)The only pedicellate flowers singularly arise from apexes of the axillary
short or strongly abbreviated branchlets as in C.viridis;and(e)A single pedicellate flower is ter-
minal to stem or hornotinous branch as in C.tangutica , C.patens , C.africolineariloba etc.

According to the evolutionary trends mentioned above , in the sect.Cheiropsis , subsect.Pota-
ninianae with spreading , obovate sepals , oblong or narrowly oblong anthers , and cymes arising from
leaf axils of hornotinous branch may be regarded as its primitive group.Subsect.Heynianae is
somewhat remote from other subsections in its often many_flowered cymes and linear anther with pro-
jected connectives.In habit and morphology of stamens and fruits subsect.Williamsianae is similar
to subsect.Montanae.However , it is difficult to explain the occurrence of the curious imbricate
aestivation of the sepals.Thus , for understanding of the relationship and systemtic position of the
two subsections just mentioned further study is needed.
In the present revision of the sect.Cheiropsis , 22 species and 23 varieties are recognized.Of

them most are wide_spread in the subtropical montane regions of China and the Himalayas , and only
three species are scattered in Beijing of North China (C.acerifolia), Southern Japan (C.wil-
liamsii)(Tobe , 1980), and central India(C.heynei)in Asia and one(C.cirrhosa)of the two
species of subsect.Cirrhosae disjunctively occurs in the coastal regions of southwestern Asia , south-
ern Europe , and northern Africa (Fig.2).Of the six archaic species mentioned above , five are
concentrated in the Hengduan Mountains and adjacent regions of Southwest China , and one (C.
montana)ranges widely from the Taiwan Island of China westwards through the subtropical regions
of China to the western Himalayas.Owing to the archaic age of these species , the distribution area
of them may be significant for searching the centre of origin of the genus Clematis.

Just as Clematis flammula L.of the sect.Clematis subsect.Rectae Prantl , C.cirrhosa is a
typical Mediterranean species and greatly variable in leaf and inflorescence morphology.In this revi-
sion , 5 varieties of this polytypic species are recognized.For understanding of the relationships
among them further study is needed.

This new variety is distinguished from other varieties of C.cirrhosa by its free bracts.In other
varieties , the two opposite bracts of the 1_flowered cyme are more or less connate into a tube_bearing
involucre.With such a primitive character , var.bibracteata may be a relict primitive from of the
subsect.Cirrhosae.
