Cirsium japonicum DC. var. fukienense Kitam. (Compositae), a newly recorded taxon of Taiwan and its western outlying islands

本文報導臺灣及其西部離島之新紀錄植物──長苞小薊（Cirsium japonicum DC. var. fukienense Kitam.）。本分類群與南國小薊（C. japonicum DC. var. australe Kitam.）相似，但其總苞片之突出明顯延長可與之區別。本文提供長苞小薊的彩色照片、手繪圖、描述及與臺灣產小薊複合群（C. japonicum complex）之檢索表等供參考用。

A newly recorded variety Cirsium japonicum DC. var. fukienense Kitam. of Taiwan and its western outlying islands is reported in this article. This taxon resembles var. australe Kitam., differs from its clearly longer apical prominent parts of phyllaries. Photos, line drawings, description and a key to C. japonicum complex in Taiwan are also provided for identification.
