摘 要:菱科(Trapaceae)僅菱属(Trapa L.)1属,该属是典型的水生多型植物,中国乃至全球以往的分类处理分歧很大。基于文献查阅、野外采集、标本鉴定和栽培观察,对菱属植物分类的主要形态性状作了系统评价。果体大小和果冠变异稳定,可以用于属内种的划分,果喙大小和角的数目则可以用于种下变种的划分。在此基础上,对中国菱属作了分类处理,承认了细果野菱(T. incisa)和欧菱(T. natans)2个种,并将欧菱划分为6个变种,对其中4个变种作了新的组合。将10个种名和12个变种名处理为异名,并对5个名称(Trapa amurensis,T. bispinosa,T. dimorphocarpa,T. japonica,T. manchurica)作了后选模式标定。

Trapaceae,with a single genus Trapa L.,is morphologically sufficiently similar to Lythraceae and Onagraceae but is considered as a distinct family based on morpholo-gical,embryological anatomical and  palynological studies,as well as its numerical and cytological taxonomy (Manasl,1954; Ram,1956; Trela-Swicka,1965; Kadono & Schneider,1986; Kadono,1987; Oginuma et al.,1996). The molecular evidence and precise observations on ovary,fruit and seed suggested that Trapaceae was merged in Lythraceae with Punicaceae and Sonneratiaceae (APG III,2009; Graham & Graham,2014; APG IV,2016). Trapa,containing more than 150 scientific names belonging to approximately 30 species,is distributed in temperate to subtropical regions of Europe,Asia and Africa (Chen et al.,2007). East Asia is the diversity hotspot of Trapa,and 15 species and several intraspecific taxa were reported in China,especially in middle and lower catchment of Yangtzi River (Wan,2000). Many taxa of Trapa are widly cultivated for their fruits,which contain abundant starch,and this genus is one of the important,aquatic and economic plants.

Trapa was established in species Platarum,with only one species,Trapa natans L. (Linnaeus,1753). Later,some new species or varieties were described by Carl Linnaeus (1782),Loureiro (1790),Flerov (1925),Nakai (1942),Vassiljev (1947) and Nakano (1964),and some of these new species or varieties were also distributed in China.

In China,Forbes & Hemsley (1903) recognized only one species,Trapa natans,in the enumeration of the plants in China. In Symbolae Sinicae,Trapa maximowiczii Korsh. with two varieties were recorded (Handel-Mazzetti,1933). In Lineamenta Florae Manshuricae,three species of Trapa,T. bispinosa Roxb.,T. maximowiczii Korsh. and T. natans,were recorded. Li & Chang (1977) recognized seven species and a form in North-east China,including a new species Trapa arcuata S. H. Li & Y. L. Chang. Yan (1983) recognized eleven speices in China,while Diao (1990a) recognized thirteen species,three varieties and one form,including one new species. Diao (1990b) described another new species Trapa dimorphocarpa. Wan (1984) proposed a taxonomic revision on Chinese Trapa,and thirteen species,four varieties and one form were recognized. Later,Wan (1991,2000) described two new varieties and a combination:Trapa quadrispinosa Roxb. var. yongxiuensis W. H. Wan,T. pseudoincisa var. nanchangensis W.H. Wan and T. macropoda var. bispinosa (Roxb.) W.H. Wan. Xiong (1985) treated Trapa quadrispinosa,T. bispinosa,T. taiwanensis and T. acornis as the varieties of T. bicornis,and T. japonica var. magnicorona Z. T. Xiong,T. japonica var. longicollum Z. T. Xiong,T. pseudoincisa var. aspinfa Z. T. Xiong,T. pseudoincisa var. complana Z. T. Xiong were described as new varieties. Guan & Lang (1987) described a new variety,Trapa litwinowii var. chihuensis S. F. Guan & Q. Lang. In FRPS,Wan (2000) recognized fifteen species and eleven varieties of Trapa,while another treatment contained only two species in Flora of China (Chen et al.,2007).

Species delimitation of Trapa is debated till now. In Flora of Europe,Tutin & Heywood (1968) only considered one polymorphic species,Trapa natans,and merged thirteen species in it. Vassiljev (1949) recognized ca. 70 species worldwide,while ca. 30 species were recognized by some taxonomists (Li & Chang,1977; Yan,1983; Kak & Durani,1988; Wu,1991). Cook (1990) gave an uncertain viewpoint:the genus Trapa containing one single polymorphic species or ca. 20 species.

How many species are there in the genus Trapa? One or more? One of the authors (Ding) joined to edit the Trapaceae of Flora of China and accepted only two species:Trapa incisa Siebold & Zucc. and T. natans,in China,but six varieties of T. natans were herein recognized for reflection of the species differentiation as well as daily application for agricultural cultivation and usage,species protection,etc.

The current revision is based on our previous stu-dies: (1) The observation of the pollen micromorphology of nine Trapa species,with a preliminary study on the pollination biology (Ding et al.,1991,1996); (2) Taxonomy of Trapa in Flora of Zhejiang (Fang & Ding,1993); (3) Variation pattern of the Trapa fruits in Tangsun Lake (Jin & Ding,1995); (4) Chromosome numbers of 23 population belonging nine species (Huang et al.,1996); (5) Seedling morpholohy of ten Trapa species (Ding et al.,1999); (6) Morphological variation and taxonomic significance (Hu et al.,2001;Wang et al.,2006); (7) Relationship among Trapa species detected by RAPD markers (Jiang & Ding,2004). The aims of this present taxonomic revision were to:(1) Answer the above-mentioned question “How many species of Trapa in China?”,based on a comprehensive result with all evidences of morphology,palynology,chromosome numbers and DNA markers; (2) Clarify the infra-specific taxa of T. natans and their identifying characters,and supply the differentiation pattern of morphological characters for further usage.

1 Morphological Characters

The diagnostic characters used to identify species or infra-species of Trapa in China are as follows:horn numbers of fruits,horn shape and position,fruit shape and size,shape and size of fruit crowns,beak height,bulge number,leaf shape and size,indumentum (Li & Chang,1977; Yan,1983; Wan,2000). Other characters,such as annual floating herbs,phyllotaxis,flower solitary,4-merous,ovary partly inferior,drupe etc.,show the stability among species and varieties and are not used for identification.

Field works were carried out in East,Central,South,Southwest,North and Northeast China,and 41 populations from fifteen provinces were collected. The data used for variation analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were mainly obtained from these populations,and its taxonomic implications were also evaluated (Jin & Ding,1995; Hu et al.,2001; Wang et al.,2006). Ten species from 33 populations were cultivated,and the developmental progress,seedling morphology,pollination experiments and morphological variation were carefully observed (Ding et al.,1996,1999).

Herein,the principal diagnostic characters used to identify species and varieties of Trapa are listed in the key.

Note. Li & Chang (1977),Yu (1994) recognized Trapa manchurica as a distinct species,which has larger fruits (width vs. height = 0.5-1). From protologue,Trapa manchurica had the fruits relatively larger and beaks more conspicuous than those of T. natans. Fruit morphology of Trapa manchurica and T. amurensis are in variance range of T. natans,and the former two species were consequently reduced to

T. natans. Trapa potaninii was distinguished in two lower horns obtuse,not acute and barbellate,which

This variety has 4-horned fruits,but differs from Trapa natans var. natans in having fruits inconspi-cuously beaked and crowned. The fruit body,horn shape and length,and exocarp color of T. natans var. komarovii are various and unstable,especially in cultivated individuals. This variety is wildly distributed in China,as well as India,and many cultivated types occur now.

Note. Trapa acornis Nakano,with 0-horned fruits,was described as a new species. Based on the cultivation,the fruits of T. acornis are 4-bulged,sometimes with four obtuse horns,which had the similar fruit body to T. natans var. komarovii. It only occurs in cultivated individuals which distributed in Nanhu Lake of Jiaxing,Zhejiang Province and adjacent regions,and 0-horned fruits are maintained under breeding. T. quadrispinosa var. yongxiuensis W.H. Wan (1991) had the fruits with four short horns,which is reduced to synonym here. Diao (1990a) established a new species,T. uncinata Diao,but he did not give Latin diagnosis and designate the type.

Distribution. Wild-distributed in China,North,East,Central and South China wild cultivated,also in Japan,Korea,Russia,Indonesia,Malaysia,Phillippines,Vietnam,Laos.

Note. This vatiety is various,especially in cultivation,in fruit size,horn length and shape,exocarp color. Consequently,Trapa bicornis,T. taiwanensis,T. cochinchinensis and T. arcuata were described as new species by different scholars. Trapa bicornis and T. taiwanensis are cultivated species,with two upper horns down-curving,but T. taiwanensis had fruit exocarp green to greenish black,four sepals ciliate. Trapa bispinosa had the fruits smaller than T. bicornis and T. taiwanensis,occurring wild or cultivated,whereas T. arcuata only in wild water. Yu (1994) reduced T. arcuata to the synonymy of T. japonica,and we hereby reduced both T. arcuata and T. japonica to synonyms. Based on the submerged leaf shape,Diao (1990b) described Trapa dimorphocarpa as a new species,but he failed to designate the holotype. Wan (2000) reduced it as synonym,which is here accepted. Herein we used the earliest name of the variety rank.

This variety is both in wild water or cultivation. Two cultivated groups were recognized:Trapa bicornis group and T. bispinosa group.

Compared with Trapa natans,var. quadricaudata has relatively smaller fruits and leaves. Leaves of T. natans var. quadricaudata are rhombic,but compressed rounded,incised-dentate and thinly dentate at margin in luxuriantly growing status. Flowers are white,rarely pink in early flowering status. Fruits are frequently bulged; crowns are small,beaks conspicuous,four horns acute and barbellate,sometimes with two lower horns degenerated,and fresh exocarps green or red.

Distribution. China (Anhui,Fujian,Guizhou,Henan,Hubei,Hunan,Jiangsu,Jiangxi,Shanghai,Sichuan,Yunnan,Zhejiang),Japan and Vietnam.

Note. The phototype of Trapa maximowiczii in P was checked by the authors. Although the fruits showed immature,leaf size and shape indicated it should be reduced to synonym. Trapa mammillifera was distinguished in its 4-bulged fruits,which was an unstable morphological character. In China,the name Trapa incisa in this entity were misused,but Trapa incisa was the species with small fruits and incise-dentate leaves (Nakano,1964; Xiong,1985; Kadono,1987).

Note. Based on the specimens with the fruits being 2 compressed and upper-curved horned,or with degenerated upper horns,Xiong (1985) respectively described two new varieties:Trapa pseudoincisa var. complana and T. pseudoincisa var. aspinta. Wan (1991) described Trapa pseudoincisa var. nanchangensis mainly based on the shape of the fruits. These varieties were considered as the various types,and thus reduced to synonyms here.
