Taxonomic notes on the genus Thunbergia (Acanthaceae) in Taiwan

鄧伯花屬（Thunbergia）植物為爵床科的一個屬約100種。台灣植物誌第二版補遺記載了2種，分別為黑眼花（T. alata Bojer ex Sims）與香鄧伯花（T. fragrans Roxb.）。本研究報導台灣的鄧伯花屬植物，共記錄有7種，大鄧伯花（T. grandiflora Roxb.）與月桂藤（T. laurifolia Lindl.）為歸化植物，立鶴花（T. erecta （Benth.）T. Anderson）部分由栽培逸出，邁索爾鄧伯花（T. mysorensis（Wight）T. Anderson）和沃格爾鄧伯花（T. vogeliana Benth.）為栽培植物。本文提供台灣的鄧伯花屬植物的檢索表、描述、分布及彩色照片。

The genus Thunbergia (Acanthaceae) comprises of about 100 species restricted to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Madagascar, Asia, and Australia, of which two have been recorded from Taiwan. They are T. alata Bojer ex Sims, a common weed found from low to medium elevations throughout the island, and T. fragrans Roxb., found in central parts of the island. We conducted a field survey on Thunbergia in Taiwan. Seven species were found: the recently naturalized T. grandiflora Roxb. and T. laurifolia Lindl., an escapee T. erecta (Benth.) T. Anderson, and Taiwan cultivated T. mysorensis (Wight) T. Anderson and T. vogeliana Benth. This paper is a brief description of these six species with a key and photographs to aid identification.
