Abstract

The confusion of the taxonomic treatment of the Loranthus Jacq., Scurrula L. and Taxillus Van Tiegh. in the Taiwanese mistletoes was due to the profound botanical publication with the little understanding in such great diversity and phylogeny within this group. This paper provides the taxonomic treatment of Taxillus Van Tiegh. in Taiwan, including the description of the new combined genus, the key to the ten species of this genus in Taiwan, one newly recorded species, one new species and two varieties.

中文摘要

台灣或亞洲的桑寄生屬（Loranthus Jacq.）、梨果桑寄生（舊稱桑寄生）屬（Scurrula L.）及鈍果桑寄生（舊稱松寄生）屬（Taxillus Van Tiegh.）的分類處理混淆是淵源於早期的文獻對於這群植物的變異及親源了解不多，本研究提出鈍果桑寄生屬的新分類處理，包括新合成屬的描述、屬內台灣十種的分類檢索表、一新紀錄種、一新種及兩變種。 關鍵詞：鈍果桑寄生屬，訂正，台灣，分類學。
