摘要 : 作者在对铃子香属 ( Chelonopsis) 进行系统学研究过程中发现白花铃子香 ( C. albiflora) 的模式标本
已遗失。为了使这一名称的用法得以保持 , 根据国际植物命名法规 (维也纳法规 ) 之规则 9.11 和 9.15 ,
作者为其指定了一个新模式。同时本文也对白花铃子香 ( C . albiflora) 和轮叶铃子香 ( C . souliei) 的种间关
系进行了讨论。

Abstract: Typification elements within the protologue of Chelonopsis albiflora are fully discussed . The absence of cited
original material has led to our choice of a suitable neotype in order to preservecurrent usage of the name .
Key words: Chelonopsis; C . albiflora; Labiatae; Nomenclature; Typification
The genus Chelonopsis Miq . is endemic to East Asia
(Mabberly, 1997) , mainly distributed in China and Japan . It
was first described by Miquel ( 1865 ) and includes 16 species
(Harley et al. , 2004) , of which the following three species of
Chelonopsissect . Aequidens C . Y . Wu et H . W . Li occur in-
frequently in Southwestern China: C. albiflora Pax et Hoffm . ex
Limpr ., C. souliei ( Botani ) Merr . and C. forrestii Anthony
(Wu and Li, 1977) .
C. albiflora was first reported byPax and Hoffmann ( 1922)
based on two specimens collected by Giraldii :“Ost-Tibet: Bejü-
Batang, Bachufer bei Scha u ndo, 3 400 m (n . 2221) ; Batang-
Litang, GebüscheumMbaju tschi , 3 400 m ( n . 2230)”. C. a-
lbiflora was treated as a synonymof C. souliei byMerrill ( 1947)
because both sharethe same characters, e.g . most of the leaves
are in whorls of three . However, after an examination of a large
number of specimens, we found that many characters are differ-
ent between these two species as described by Wu (1959 ) , Wu
andLi ( 1977 ) , Li and Hedge ( 1994 ) . The leaves of C. al-
biflora are lanceolate, 3 . 5 - 6×0 .8 - 1.3 cm; cymes usually 1-
flowered; peduncle less than 3 mm; and corolla 1 .5 - 2 cm . In
contrast the leaves of C. souliei are ovate-lanceolate, 5 - 6×2 -
2 .5 cm, much larger than thoseof C. albiflora; cymes usually 3-
flowered; peduncle ca . 1 cm; and corolla up to3 .5 cm .
In our taxonomic revision, it is necessary to consider the
neotypification of the name C. albiflora in order to preserve cur-
rent usage, because of the absenceof cited original specimens .
Materials and method
Before selecting a neotype, a number of herbaria ( IBSC,
K , KUN, MO, P , PE , WRSL ) were consulted in order to as-
certain whether the original materials had been destroyed or not .
Themost important selection criteria were specimen characteris-
tics that were identical to the characteristics mentioned in the
protologueand the authenticity of the material .
Acronyms for herbaria follow Index Herbariorum (Holmgren
et al. , 1990) . Prescriptions of the ICBN (McNeill et al. , 2006)

Typification
Chelonopsis albiflora Pax et Hoffm . ex Limpr . in Fedde,
Repert . Sp . Nov . Beih .: 12 : 477 . 1922 . Type: China . Si-
chuan Province: Near Batang county, Mt . Yuangen, 9 Aug .
1981 , Qinghai-Tibet expedition, 4668 . ( Neotype designated
here, KUN) .
Most collections of the Limpricht were deposited in WRSL
(Holmgren et al. , 1990 ) . Merrill (1947) doubtedthat the orig-
inal specimens of C . albiflora had been destructed during the
World War Ⅱ . We appealed to Dr . Krzysztof ′S wierkosz and
AgnieszkaKreitschitz of the herbariumof WRSL , who courteous-
ly confirmed to us that these specimenswere destroyed and there
was no duplicate deposited in other centers previous to the de-
struction of the herbarium . Under Article 9 .11 and 9 .15 of the
Code (McNeil et al. , 2006) , if no original material is extant, a
neotypemaybe selectedtopreservethe usageof thenameestab-
lished by the original specimens .
We have examinedthecharacter elementswithin the protol-
ogue of the species in order to selectsuitablematerial for typifica-
tion . After examiningmany specimens, we selectedthe specimen
Qinghai-Tibet expedition4668 (KUN) as a suitable candidate for
neotype for the following reasons: 1 , the specimen was collected
from theplacewhere is near to thetype locality; 2 , characters of
the specimen are identical to the prologue; 3 , more information
is provided by this specimen than other specimens also collected
near the type locality .
Acknowledgments: We are grateful to Dr . Krzysztof ′S wierkosz
and Dr . Agnieszka Kreitschitz (WRSL) for helping us to confirm
the destruction of the original specimens, Dr . Sovanmoly Hul
(P) for taking photos of the type specimen of C. souliei, Dr .
Sylvia Phillips (K ) for reviewing the manuscript . Many thanks
are also due to Dr . David Bufford, Harvard University, for pro-
viding some literature . We also thank the herbarium curators of
IBSC, K , MO, P, PE, WRSL , who either searched through
their collections on our behalf or who loaned specimens or took
photos for thisstudy . This study is sponsoredbyMOST numbered
