| 摘 要： | 本文根据植物类群的系统发育和地理分布统一的原理，讨论了獐牙菜属植物的起源、散布和分
布区的形成。獐牙菜属包括11组16系154种，间断分布在亚洲、欧洲、北美洲和非洲。中国西南部-
喜马拉雅地区汇集了大多数种类、不同演化水平的类群以及形形色色的特有类群，成为该属的多样化
中心和多度中心。该属的原始类群和外类群也集中分布在中国西南山地，极有可能是该属的起源地。该
属的分布区类型中出现了各式的间断分布，根据有该属植物分布的大陆间及大陆与岛屿间分离和连接
的时间推测，该属的起源时间至少不会晚于晚白垩纪，也许更早，可追溯到中白垩纪。通过分类群间亲
缘关系和现代分布分析，显示出该属植物从起源地向周围和一定方向散布，形成了三个主要散布途径。在散布过程中植物本身也发生演化和就地特化，形成新的类群。

| Abstract: | The genus Swertia is one of the large genera in Gentianaceae, including 154
species, 16 series and 11 sections. It is disjunctly distributed in Europe, Asia, Africa and N.
America, but entirely absent from Oceania and S. America.
According to Takhtajan’s (1978) regionalization of the world flora, Swertia is found in
14 regions. Eastern Asiatic region with 86 species, of which 58 are local endemics, 13 series
and 9 sections, ranks the first among all the regions. The highest concentration of the taxa
and endemics in Eastern Asiatic region occurs in SW China-Himalayan area (Sikang-Yunnan
P. , W. Sichuan, W. Yunnan-Guichou Plateau of China and NE. Burma, N. Burmense P. ,
E. Himalayan P. and Khasi-Manipur P. ). In this area there are 74 species (48 endemics),
12 series, and 9 sections; thus about half species of the world total, three quarters of series
and 82% of sections occur in this small area. Besides, the taxa at different evolutionary
stages in Swertia also survive here. It is an indication that SW. China-Himalayan area is a
major distribution centre of the genus Swertia. In addition, Sudan-Zambezian Region in
Africa, with 22 species, 4 series and 2 sections, is a second distribution centre.
The primitive type of the genus Swertia is Sect. Rugosa which consists of 2 series and
23 species. It is highly centred in the mountains of SW. China (Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou
and SE. Xizang) where 2 series and 16 species occur. Among them 15 species of Ser. Ru-
gosae were considered as the most primitive groups in this genus. From our study, the out-
group of Swertia is the genus Latouchea Frahch. , which is distributed in Yunnan, Sichuan,
Guizhou, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian. The two groups overlap in distribution
in SW. China. According to the principle of common origin, the ancestor of two genera ap-
peared most probably in this overlapping area. It was inferred that SW. China Was the birth-
place of the genus Swertia.
Four sections of Swertia have different disjunct distribution patterns: Sect. Ophelia is of
Tropic Asia, Africa and Madagascar disjunct distribution; sect. Swertia is of north temper-
ate distribution; sect. Spinosisemina is in Tropical Asia (Trop. India to S. China and Philip-
ines); sect. Platynema also is in Tropical Asia (Java, Sumatra, Himalayas to SW. China).
These disjunct patterns indicate that the Swertia floras between the continents or between
continent and islands have a connection with each other. From paleogeographical analysis,
Swertia plants dispersed to Madagascar before the Late Cretaceous, to SE. Asian Islands in
the Pleistocene, to North America in the Miocene. The distribution of Swertia in Madagas-
car might be later than that in Asia. Therefore the origin time of the genus Swertia was at
least not later than the Late Cretaceous, and might be back to the Mid-Cretaceous.
The genus Swertia first fully developed and differentiated, forming some taxa at differ-
ent evolutionary stages (Rugosa, Swertia, Poephila, Ophelia and Platynema etc. ) in the o-
riginal area, and these taxa quickly dispersed in certain directions during the Late Creta-
ceous-Middle Tertiary when the global climate was warm and no much change. There seem
to be three main dispersal routes from the origin area to different continents; (1) The west-
ward route i. e. from SW. China, along the Himalayas area to Kashmir, Pakistan,
Afghanistan and Iran, and then southwestwards into Africa throuth Arabia. Four sections
(Poephila, Macranthos, Kingdon-Wardia and Ophelia) took this dispersal route. Most
species of sect. Ophelia dispersed along this route, but a few along southern route and north
ern route. Sect. Ophelia greatly differentiated in Africa and the African endemic section-
Sect. Montana was derived from it. The two sections form there a second distribution center
of Swertia. (2) The southward route, i. e. towards S. India through the Himalayas, and
towards SE. Asian islands through C. and S. China, Indo-China. Along this dispersal route
sect. Platynema, Sect. Spinosisemina and a few species of Sect. Ophelia dispersed; (3) The
northward rout, i. e. northwards across N. China, C. Asia to a high latitude of Euasia,
and also through E. Asia into N. America. The following groups took this route: sect. Ru-
gosa, sect. Swertia, sect. Frasera, sect. Heteranthos and sect. Ophelia ser. Dichotomae.
Therefore, it seems that the genus Swertia originated in SW. China and then dispersed
from there to N. and S. Asia, Africa, Europe and North America and formed the moderndistribution pattern of this genus. |
