A new species of Scutellaria (Scutellarioideae, Lamiaceae) from Sichuan Province in southwest China.

ABSTRACT: Scutellaria wuana, a new species discovered from a xeric valley in Muli County of Sichuan Province in southwest China, is described and illustrated. Morphologically, the new species shares similarities with S. mairei, but can be readily distinguished by a suite of morphological characters including a white-pubescent erect stem, conspicuous leaf petioles, and a yellow corolla with a trapeziform lower-middle lip lobe. The habitat and distribution of S. wuana are also distinctive. The position of the new species within Scutellaria is examined in a phylogenetic context using the nuclear ribosomal internal and external transcribed spacers. Additionally, we examine leaf epidermal and pollen grain micromorphology of the new species and putative relatives.

Isodonxiaoluzhiensis (Lamiaceae, Nepetoideae), a new species from Yunnan, southwest China.

Project description:Isodonxiaoluzhiensis, a new species of the tribe Ocimeae in family Lamiaceae, is described and illustrated. The new species is known only from the type locality, Xiaoluzhi village in Luzhijang dry-hot valley of Yimen County, central Yunnan, southwest China. It is characterized by having a procumbent habit, gracile stems and branches, relatively small leaves and flowers, and the phenology of flowering in winter. The morphological comparisons with its putative closest relatives (I.adenanthus and I.hsiwenii) are also presented.

Characterization of the complete plastid genome of Scutellaria microviolacea (Lamiaceae), a species endemic to Yunnan Province of China

Project description:Abstract The complete plastid genome of Scutellaria microviolacea C. Y. Wu was firstly reported. The full length of the plastid genome was 152,092 bp and comprised of a large single-copy (LSC) region of 84,090 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 17,534 bp, and two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 25,234 bp. A total of 131 genes were encoded, including 87 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the S. microviolacea plastid genome was 38.3%. Further phylogenetic analysis based on 18 accessions inferred that the genus Scutellaria can be divided into two clades, and S. microviolacea is evolutionarily close to Scutellaria tsinyunensis. Our study provided essential genetic resources for further studies on the evolution and genetic diversity of the genus Scutellaria and its related taxa.

Eutrema giganteum (Brassicaceae), a new species from Sichuan, southwest China.

Project description:Eutrema giganteum (Brassicaceae), a new species from Hengduan Mountains in Sichuan Province, southwest China, is described, and its relationships to the closely related E. yunnanense is discussed based on morphological, cytological, and molecular data. It is similar morphologically to E. yunnanense but is readily distinguished by having robust (vs. slender), erect (vs. decumbent), and branched (vs. mostly simple), and rather tall stems (60-110 cm vs. 20-60 cm); curved (vs. straight), smooth (vs. torulose), and shorter fruit (5-8 mm vs. 8-15 mm); and fewer ovules per ovary (1-4 vs. 6-10). All examined individuals from different populations of E. giganteum clustered into a single clade sister to E. yunnanense in phylogenetic analyses using the combined nuclear ITS and plastid DNA datasets. Our cytological studies revealed that the chromosome number of E. giganteum is 2n = 44, with a genome size of 1160 (±8) Mb, while that of E. yunnanense is 2n = 28, with a genome size of 718 (±15) Mb. Multiple lines of evidence support the recognition of E. giganteum as a distinct species well differentiated from E. yunnanense.

The complete chloroplast genome of Scutellaria meehanioides (Lamiaceae) from Shaanxi Province, China.

Project description:Scutellaria meehanioides C.Y.Wu is a medicinal perennial herb native to China. The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the S. meehanioides was determined and assembled using next generation sequencing methodologies. The complete genome is 152,484 base pairs (bp) in length and has an overall GC content of 38.4%. The chloroplast genome contains, a large single-copy region (LSC) of 83,859 bp, small single-copy region (SSC) of 17,467 bp and a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 24,029 bp. The genome of S. meehanioides contains 133 genes, including 87 protein-coding, 38 tRNA,and 8 rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis fully resolved S. meehanioides in a clade with S. orthocalyx. This study provides useful information for future genetic study of S. meehanioides.

A new species of the toothed toad Oreolalax (Anura, Megophryidae) from Sichuan Province, China.

Project description:The toad genus Oreolalax is widely distributed in southwest China and northern Vietnam. A new species of the genus is described from Sichuan Province, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA gene sequences supported the new species as an independent clade clustered into the clade also containing O. nanjiangensis and O. chuanbeiensis. The new species can be distinguished from its congeners by a combination of the following characters: body size moderate (SVL 51.2-64.2 mm in males); head broad; tympanum hidden; interorbital region with dark triangular pattern; belly with marbling; male lacking spines on lip margin; spiny patches on chest small with thick sparse spines in male; nuptial spines thick and sparse; tibio-tarsal articulation reaching beyond nostril when leg stretched forward; toe webbing at base.

The complete chloroplast genome of Scutellaria tsinyunensis (Lamiaceae), an endemic species from China.

Project description:Scutellaria tsinyunensis (Lamiaceae) is an endangered species endemic to Mt. Jinyun of Chongqing, China. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of S. tsinyunensis was sequenced and characterized. The cp genome is 152,066 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure, containing a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 25,223 bp separated by a large single-copy (LSC) region and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 84,096 bp and 17,524 bp, respectively. The whole cp genome contains 130 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 36 tRNA genes, and eight rRNA genes. The overall GC content of the circular genome is 38.4%, whereas the corresponding values in LSC, SSC, and IR regions are 36.4, 32.6, and 43.6%, respectively. The phylogenetic analysis based on the complete cp genomes of the Lamiaceae family indicated that S. tsinyunensis was closely related to S. insignis.
