Abstract

Abstract:

Swertia is one large genus of Gentianaceae with a wide distribution in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa. In this study, we reported two new sections (Montana and Echinulata) and seven new series (Repentes, Kilimandscharicae, Corymbosae, Japonicae, Swertopsis, Pumilae, and Abyssinicae). In addition, some species were reduced, recombined and newly established. These new taxonomic synopses will be used for a further worldwide monograph of this genus.

Key words: Taxonomic synopses, Swertia, Gentianaceae

CLC Number:

Q 949
