TWO NEW SPECIES OF BREDIA (MELASTOMATACEAE) FROM TAIWAN

An examination of living material of Bredia (Melastomataceae) in Taiwan and a
comparison with herbarium material of the genus from eastern Asia (China, Japan and
Taiwan) has led to the recognition of two new species, B. dulanica C.L.Yeh, S.W.Chung
& T.C.Hsu and B. laisherana C.L.Yeh & C.R.Yeh. The morphology and diagnostic
characters of these two species are described and illustrated and a key to the species
of Bredia in Taiwan is given.

通过对中国台湾地区柏拉木属（Bredia）、野牡丹科（Melastomataceae）活体材料的检视，并与采自东亚（中国、日本及中国台湾）该属的腊叶标本材料进行比对，本研究确认了两个新种：都兰柏拉木（B. dulanica C.L.Yeh, S.W.Chung & T.C.Hsu）与赖石柏拉木（B. laisherana C.L.Yeh & C.R.Yeh）。本文对这两个新种的形态特征与分类鉴别性状进行了描述和图解，并编制了中国台湾地区柏拉木属植物的分种检索表。
