Suzuki, A Species of Burmanniaceae Endemic to Taiwan}, JOURNAL = {Taiwania}, VOLUME = {45}, YEAR = {2000}, ISSUE = {4}, PAGES = {340-345}, URL = {https://taiwania.ntu.edu.tw/abstract/270}, ABSTRACT = {Burmannia nana Fukuy. & T. Suzuki was described in 1936 on the basis of one individual collection in Lanyu Island of the southeastern coast of Taiwan. The species was transferred to Gymnosiphon in 1940 as G. nanus (Fukuy. & T. Suzuki) Tuyama, but this name was not adopted in the first edition of Flora of Taiwan. Careful examination of the flowers of this species makes it clear that the species is referable to Gymnosiphon aphyllus Blume which was described from western Java. The species is newly recorded in Taiwan. The type of B. nana Fukuy. & T. Suzuki doesn’t exist in Taiwan and Japan, hence the neotype is designated, i. e., T. H. Hsieh 2014 in TAI.}, DOI = {10.6165/tai.2000.45(4).340} }
