土茯苓屬（菝葜科）之學名修訂

Nomenclatural Alterations in the Genus Heterosmilax (Smilacaceae)

基於兩屬間甚小的形態差異及近年分子譜系學之研究結果，土茯苓屬Heterosmilax（菝葜科Smilacaceae）應處理為菝葜屬Smilax之異名。本文因此將土茯苓屬已知之12種轉移至菝葜屬，並提出必要之新分類處理，共計2新名（S. duclouxii 與S. vietnamensis）及7新組合名（S. chinensis, S. longiflora, S. longiflora, S. polyandra, S. seisuiensis, S. septemnervia與S. sumatrensis）。

Heterosmilax (Smilacaceae) is treated as a synonym of Smilax based on their weak morphological divergence and recent molecular phylogenetic evidences. This paper transfers twelve known Heterosmilax species to Smilax with two necessary new names (S. duclouxii and S. vietnamensis) and seven new combinations (S. chinensis, S. longiflora, S. longiflora, S. polyandra, S. seisuiensis, S. septemnervia and S. sumatrensis).
