大多數產生子囊盤的松蘿在臺灣已經很久未被發現了,我們重新找到五個種類,藉由分析形態、化 學、分子資料,分鑑定為松田氏松蘿、東方松蘿、擬緒方氏松蘿、島田氏松蘿、中國松蘿。包含這五個物種的十條ITS序列在此 首次被定序出來。而針對各物種之分布,雖然在臺灣的分布沒有緯度差異,但亞熱帶及熱帶的高海拔 地區應含有豐富的產生子囊盤之松蘿。
Most species of the genus Usnea that commonly produce apothecia in Taiwan have not been collected for a long time. We rediscovered five species, including Usnea masudana, U. orientalis, U. pseudogatae, U. shimadae, and U. sinensis, by investigating their morphology, chemistry, and molecular data. Ten internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of the five species were first reported. Distributions of the species were also provided. Although no latitudinal tendency was observed among the Usnea species in Taiwan, we consider high elevation places of the subtropics and tropics to contain plenty of Usnea species that produce apothecia.
