The genus Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae) in Taiwan is revised according to the results of the field investigations and examination of specimens at major herbaria. We recognize three species and two varieties of Cuscuta in Taiwan including C. australis. C. campestris, C. chinensis, C. japonica var. formosana and C. japonica var. japonica, in which, Cuscuta chinensis, a species neglected or unknown by many Taiwan authors, is introduced in detail. Cuscuta campestris, although collected as early as in 1964, is a new record. A key to the species and varieties of Cuscuta in Taiwan is provided based on the characteristics of reproductive organs, and maps of the presently known distribution of C. campestris and C. japonica var. formosana are also given. |
