| 摘 要： | The fern genus Diplaziopsis C. Chr. of Index Filicum has long been considered as
a monotypic one, with the sole species, D. javanica (B1.) C. Chr. from tropical Asia. In
1906, H. Christ described a second species, Allantodia cavaleriana Christ (=D. cavale-
riana C. Chr.) from Kweichow, West China, but this was since not fully recognized by
fern students in general, being often considered as a variety of the first species. This
is certainly a mistake, as is shown by ample herbarium specimens today. In the recent
work on the genus, the writer has found among the herbarium material two additional
new species from China, thus bringing the genus up to four species in Asia, mainly from
China, where, as it is, the genus has its center of development from the long past.
Phylogenetically, Diplaziopsis C. Chr. represents one of the offshoots from the great
stock of diplazioid ferns, of which the genus Diplazium Sw. constitutes the main body
of the group and from which our genus differs chiefly in its leaves of a thin texture with
reticulated venation, but not so much in its type of indusium as it has generally been
emphasized by most botanists in the past, for, as it is, the type of indusium in Di-
plaziopsis also prevails in many species of Diplazium, for which C. B. Clarke (Trans.
Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Bot. I:495, 1880) created, but really superfluously, a subgenus Pseudal-
lantodia, about which the writer will dwell in another paper in the near future. Suffice
it to say here that the indusium in Diplaziopsis as revealed by the species treated here
is, indeed, typical of diplazioid ferns, only often, as it happens, with its adaxial edge
pressed so tight under the expanding sorus that it is unable to open freely along its upper
free edge and, as a result, its thin vaulted back bursts open from the pressure of the ex-
panding sorus underneath.
As a result of the present study, following four species of the genus have been re-
cognized.
Diplaziopsis javanica (B1.) C. Chr. Ind. Fil. (1905) 227.
Wide spread in tropical Asia, northwardly to Bakbo and the southern part of Yun-
nan, China.
D. cavaleriana (Christ) C. Chr. Ind. Fil. Suppl. I (1913) 25.
Ranges from West China through northern part of Fukien of East China to Japan.
D. intermedia Ching, sp. nov.
Endemic in West China: Mt. Omei, Szechuan, and Kweichow.
D. hainanensis Ching, sp. nov.
In conclusion, it may be pointed out that with the modern plant taxonomy pursued
in a more efficient manner than in the past, and especially by the introduction of the
cytotaxonomic methods, the so-called “monotypic genera”, as conceived by the orthodox
systematists, will continue to prove, to a great extent, to be lack of enough scientific
ground. The fact that the “monotypic genus” of Diplaziopsis C. Chr. is now found to
be a genus of four well-defined species is once again an instance to illustrate the pointat issue.

| Abstract: | A new fern genus, Chieniopteris Ching, based upon Woodwardia harlandii Hook.
from South China, is here proposed. Its systematic position seems to be apparently inter-
mediate between Lorinseria Presl of the east North America and Woodwardia Sm. of
the Old World, from the former the genus is distinguished by its upland habitat, by the
uniform fronds of chartaceous or rather subcoriaceous texture with straw-colored stipe
and rachis of the leaves; from the latter by the long creeping rhizome with distant
fronds, by the simple trilobed or generally simply pinnate lamina with a few pairs of
entire or sometimes irregularly lobated lateral pinnae, which are connected at the base
by a narrow wing on each side of the rachis, by the superficial and longer sori and by
the veins anastomosing between the sori and the leaf margin.
While describing the plant as a Woodwardia, Hooker properly noted that it is very
distinct from the oriental Woodwardia japonica (Linn. fil.) Sm. and W. prolifera Hook.
Later Baker transferred Hooker's species under Woodwardia sect. Lorinseria in Synopsis
Filicum in a juxtaposition with Woodwardia areolata (Linn.) Moore, the type of the
genus Lorinseria Presl. It is J. Smith, who referred the southern Chinese plant to Lorin-
seria Presl, with which it is somewhat similar in habit, but differs in characters diagnosed
above, besides a distinct habitat and geographic area.
The new genus is now represented by two species, C. harlandii (Hook.) Ching and
C. kempii (Cop.) Ching, all indigenous in South China, extending southwardly to the
northern part of Vietnam and eastwardly to the islands of southern Japan.
The new genus is named after professor S. S. Chien, director of the Institute of
Botany, Academia Sinica, and president of the Botanical Society of China, to celebratehis 80th. birthday last year. |
