(Scrophulariaceae) in Taiwan}, JOURNAL = {Taiwania}, VOLUME = {45}, YEAR = {2000}, ISSUE = {2}, PAGES = {131-146}, URL = {https://taiwania.ntu.edu.tw/abstract/256}, ABSTRACT = {The genus Mazus Lour. (Scrophulariaceae) in Taiwan is revised based on comparative morphological, palynological, and cytological studies. Six species, Mazus alpinus Masamune, M. fauriei Bonati, M. goodenifolius (Hornem.) Pennell, M. miquelii Makino, M. pumilus (Burm. f.) Steenis, and a new species M. tainanensis T. H. Hsieh are recognized in this paper. The spotting on the lower lip of the corolla, chromosome number, and pollen grains are all important characters in separating the Taiwanese taxa. The chromosome number of M. alpinus, M. goodenifolius, and M. miquelii is 2n= 20 (diploid); the chromosome number of M. faurei and M. pumilus is 2n=40 (tetraploid) and M. tainanensis is 2n=60 (hexaploid). SEM micrographs of pollen grains and seeds, chromosome counts, a key to species and descriptions, distribution maps, and taxonomic notes are provided.}, DOI = {10.6165/tai.2000.45(2).131} }
