Abstract Manglietia moto Dandy is reduced to a synonym of Manglietia kwangtungensis
(Merr.) Dandy.
Key words Manglietia, Manglietia kwangtungensis, Magnoliaceae, new synonymy.
Manglietia Bl. is a genus distributed in subtropical and tropical regions of Asia. It is
characterized by anthers introrsely dehiscent, filaments short and inconspicuous, carpels
numerous and ventral surfaces almost completely connate to tori. Manglietia has either been
included in Magnolia L. (Baillon, 1866; Canright, 1955; Keng, 1978; Nooteboom, 2000;
Figlar & Nooteboom, 2004), or recognized as a distinct genus (Dandy, 1927; Baranova, 1972;
Law, 1984; Ueda et al., 2000; Li & Conran, 2003; Wang et al., 2003). Our study on floral
organogenesis of two species of Manglietia showed that the floral organogenesis of
Manglietia is unique in whorls of petal primordia initiating asynchronously (unpublished
data), which is obviously different from that of Magnolia (Erber & Leins, 1981) with tepals
initiating spirally or in whorls, and supports to treat Manglietia as a distinct genus. Chen and
Nooteboom (1993) recorded 17 species of Manglietia in China, and Law (1996) recorded 22
species of Manglietia in China.
Merrill (1927) published Magnolia kwangtungensis based on three specimens from Lung
T’au Mountain, North River, Guangdong, China, Canton Christian College (C.C.C.) Nos.
12179, 12344 and 12548, and designated the C.C.C. 12344 (Fig. 1) as the type. Then Dandy
(1927) transferred Magnolia kwangtungensis to Manglietia. Dandy (1928) realized that the
pedicel of C.C.C. 12197 (Fig. 2) is much longer than that of C.C.C. 12344; therefore he
published Manglietia moto based on C.C.C. 12197. Chen and Nooteboom (1993) treated M.
kwangtungensis as a variety of M. fordiana Oliv.
Manglietia moto is widely distributed in Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, and
Yunnan of China. The length of pedicel is the only character to separate M. kwangtungensis
and M. moto, and no other specimens of M. kwangtungensis had been collected except the
type. Close examination of specimens including the types of these species has shown that: the
fruiting pedicels of Manglietia moto show a continuous variation from 2.5 cm to 11.5 cm.
C.C.C. 12344, the type of M. kwangtungensis, is a flowering specimen with 3-cm-long
pedicel, which is in the variation range of pedicels of M. moto. So, the length of pedicel is not
a reliable character to distinguish these two species, and M. moto is conspecific with M.
kwangtungensis. According to Art. 11. 4 of “International Code of Botanical Nomenclature
(Vienna Code)” (McNeill et al., 2006), the earlier epithet “kwangtungensis” should be
accepted. It is inappropriate that Chen and Nooteboom (1993) treated M. kwangtungensis as a
variety of M. fordiana. Manglietia kwangtungensis is easily distinguished from M. fordiana
by young twigs and pedicels being densely villose (vs. glabrous).
