Taiwania

New distribution of Utricularia warburgii (Lentibulariaceae) from Taiwan An Utricularia plant (Lentibulariaceae) was newly discovered in New Taipei, Taiwan. Characterized by the presence of horn-like processes corolla’s lower lip distinguishes, a unique characteristic within the genus Utricularia, the plant is identified as Utricularia warburgii K.I.Goebel. Utricularia warburgii was endemic to China and holds horticultural value. Compared to the U. warburgii plants available in the market, the Taiwanese plant can be distinguished by its shorter pedicels and distinctive traits of corolla’s lower lip, which include a semicircle and flat limb and spur nearly as long as the lower lip. Phylogenetic study, based on rps16 and trnK regions, confirms that the Taiwanese plant clusters with other U. warburgii plants but present different genetic characters. We here provide a detailed description of the Taiwanese Utricularia warburgii, including habitat information and photographs. We also discuss the morphological and molecular diversity of U. warburgii.

台湾新发现的战氏狸藻（ Lentibulariaceae 科）分布。一种新发现的狸藻植物（ Lentibulariaceae 科）在台湾新北市被发现。该植物以其花冠下唇上存在类似牛角的突起为特征，这一独特性状在狸藻属中极为罕见，经鉴定为战氏狸藻 K.I.Goebel。战氏狸藻原产于中国，具有园艺价值。与市场上现有的战氏狸藻植物相比，台湾植物可由其较短的柄部和花冠下唇的独特性状区分开来，包括半圆形的扁平唇部和与下唇长度近似的距。基于 rps16 和 trnK 区域的系统发育研究证实，台湾植物与其它战氏狸藻植物形成一群，但显示出不同的遗传特征。本文提供了台湾战氏狸藻的详细描述，包括栖息地信息和照片，并讨论了该物种的形态学和分子多样性。
