中国苦苣苔科植物物种中文名的选定/拟定原则建议初探

近十年来,已知分布于我国的苦苣苔科植物物种数猛增至719种(含种下等级,截至2019年1月),其中有大量的新发表类群。然而,这些新发表物种中,有相当多的一部分发表在国外相关学术期刊上,缺乏中文名的拟定,而且很多甚至在发表的时候就未对其拉丁学名的词源进行诠释。同时,由于近年来分子系统学背景下的科内属一级水平上发生巨大变动,国内不同学科的期刊在发表涉及苦苣苔科植物的文章时,不仅在学名的正确应用上存在一定的滞后和障碍,同时其新旧中文名的更迭以及近年来新分类群中文名拟定的随意性,也给国内该科植物物种多样性及相关的研究带来一定困难。因此,本文尝试梳理和规范苦苣苔科植物的中文名命名规则,以便中国苦苣苔科植物生物多样性研究和实际应用上的使用。这一规范的建立,不仅适合于现在已基本完成的苦苣苔科植物新分类系统,即便是未来在属一级水平上再次进行重组或修订,本规范依然能够适应且能让后来研究者更好地了解苦苣苔科植物的分类和修订历史。

Preliminary Study on the Selecting/Formulating Rules of Chinese Names of Chinese Gesneriaceae

During the last decade,the number of known and reported species of Gesneriaceae from China had increased sharply to 719 species (including infraspecies,until Jan.,2019),and there were a large number of newly discovered and published taxa. However,a considerable number of these newly published species had been published in relevant academic journals abroad,lacking the formulation of Chinese names,and many new species had not been interpreted the etymology of their Latin names even at the time of publication. At the same time,due to the great changes in the level of the genus under the background of molecular systematics in recent years, when the journals of different disciplines in China published some articles related to the plants of Gesneriaceae, there were certain lags and obstacles in the correct application of the scientific names. At the same time,the change of the old and new Chinese names and the randomness of the Chinese classification of the new taxonomic groups in recent years had also brought certain difficulties to the species diversity and related research of Chinese Gesneriaceae. Therefore,this paper attempts to review and normalize the naming rule for the Gesneriaceae species'' Chinese name,which can facilitate the research and practical application of the biodiversity of Chinese Gesneriaceae plants. The establishment of this specification is not only suitable for the latest classification of Gesneriaceae which has been basically completed,but also adapts to future classification if the genera will have to revise again in the future. All in all,this specification can help later researchers to better understand the taxonomical and revised history of Chinese Gesneriaceae.
