臺灣鹿藥（百合科）之分類研究

Smilacina formosana Hayata was first described at 1920 by Hayata. After that, many authors treated this species as a synonym of S. japonica A. Gray. Recently, type specimen of two species, the original materials and literature cited were reviewed and checked. Therefore, S. formosana Hayata was comfirmed different to S. japonica A. Gray. LaFrankie's concept transferred the genus Smilacina Desf. into Maianthemum Wigg. were accepted. And distribution map, type specimen and photos were provided in this article. 臺灣鹿藥（Maianthemum formosanum(Hayata) LaFrankie）最早於1920年發表（Smilacina formosana Hayata），發表後多次被處理為鹿藥（S. japonicum A. Gray）之同物異名。最近著者檢視臺灣鹿藥及鹿藥之模式標本、比較原始發表文獻及相關資料後確認臺灣鹿藥之存在，且其形態與鹿藥有一定之差異，應獨立且併入Maianthemum屬為宜。本文提供模式標本照片、彩色照片及分布圖等以資辨識。
