英文摘要 |
In the family Convolvulaceae, the genus Ipomoea has the most naturalized species in Taiwan. A newly naturalized species, I. cordatotriloba Dennst., was discovered naturalized at low-altitude open ground areas in northern and central Taiwan. The corolla diameter is larger in I. cordatotriloba (2.5 cm) than in the similar species I. triloba (1.5 cm) and I. leucantha (2 cm); therefore, these species can be easily distinguished. The taxonomic description, color photographs, and line drawings of I. cordatotriloba and the Chinese names and key for the similar species are provided to facilitate identification. |
