Abstract

This is a taxonomic study of the genera of Ranunculaceae in Taiwan, including Aconitum L., Anemone L., Calathodes L., Cimicifuga Hook.f. & Thomson, Coptis L., Dichocarpum L., Ranunculus L., Semiaquilegea Makino, Thalictrum L. and Trollius L. Anemone vitifolia Buch.-Ham. ex DC. var. matsudae Yamam. is recognized in Taiwan; the concept of the genus Cimicifuga is still accepted, excluding genus Actaea. A key to the genera, keys to the taxa under each genus and synonyms of each taxon are provided. The taxonomic descriptions of taxa are only for those published after 1996. For easy understanding and checking of Taiwanese Ranunculaceae, phenology, distribution and specimens examined in each taxon are also presented. Totally, there are 11 genera and 51 taxa (including 41 species, 2 subspecies and 8 varieties) of family Ranunculaceae in Taiwan.

中文摘要

本篇是有關臺灣產毛茛科(Ranunculaceae)植物之分類學研究，除了鐵線蓮屬(Clematis L.)植物外，本文共處理烏頭屬(Aconitum L.)，銀蓮花屬(Anemone L.)，雞爪草屬(Calathodes L.)，升麻屬(Cimicifuga Hook.f. & Thomson)，黃連屬(Coptis L.)，人字果屬(Dichocarpum L.)，毛茛屬(Ranunculus L.)，天葵屬(Semiaquilegia Makino)，唐松草屬(Thalictrum L.)及金蓮花屬(Trollius L.)等10 屬之物種。文中除了訂正小白頭翁之學名及升麻屬因瘦果此一重要特徵仍處理為獨立之屬，並包括各屬之檢索表及屬下各分類群之同物異名。為了避免描述與前文重複，故本文僅就新出現之分類群（1996 年以後）做分類學描述；為了方便瞭解與檢視各分類群，物候、分佈及驗證標本等資訊均保留之。目前臺灣產毛茛科植物共有11 屬51 分類群（包括41 種、2 亞種及8 變種）。
