Five newly recorded species of angiosperms from Shanxi Province

Abstract

Abstract [Objective] The aim is to enrich the angiosperm germplasm resources in Shanxi Province, and promote research on biodiversity and forest ecosystems in Zhongtiao Mountain area. [Methods] Photoes of plant specimens and their typical features from Zhongtiao Mountains were collected through specimen identification, data access, and expert consultation, by conducting an extensive field survey of vegetation. [Results] Five species of angiosperms were newly recorded in Shanxi Province, including viz. Rumex acetosella L., Anemone narcissiflora subsp. protracta (Ulbrich) Ziman & Fedoronczuk, Cardamine flexuosa With., Impatiens lushiensis Y. L. Chen, and Physalis minima L.. [Conclusion] These plants belong to 5 families and 5 genera, which are newly recorded species of angiosperms from Shanxi Province. These discoveries enrich the angiosperms germplasm resources and provide a basis for the study of plant diversity and florogenesis in Zhongtiao Mountain Area.
