Abstract

Background

This paper presents an updated list of tracheophytes of Xiao Hinggan Ling. The list includes 124 families, 503 genera and 1640 species (Containing subspecific units), of which 569 species (Containing subspecific units), 56 genera and 6 families represent first published records for Xiao Hinggan Ling. The aim of the present study is to document an updated checklist by reviewing the existing literature, browsing the website of National Specimen Information Infrastructure and additional data obtained in our research over the past ten years.

New information

This is the first complete checklist of tracheophytes of Xiao Hinggan Ling. A total of 1640 species and subspecies are listed, of which 569 species (ontaining subspecific units) represent first published records.

Keywords

Xiao Hinggan Ling; tracheophyte; flora

Introduction

Xiao Hinggan Ling is located in the north of Heilongjiang Province, China. It is a part of the low mountains and lava platforms in northeast China. It is an important part of the Hinggan Ling in northeast Asia. This area intersects with the remnants of the Da Hinggan Ling, the Northeast Plain and the Changbaishan Mountains. The floristic composition of Xiao Hinggan Ling is complex, and the plant species are diverse in Xiao Hinggan Ling. Typical zonal vegetation types in the region are broad-leaved Korean pine mixed forest and Korean pine forest. The broad-leaved coniferous forest in the Xiao Hinggan Ling region of northeast in China is a very important timber resource (Cao and Li 2007). Xiao Hinggan Ling areas have the world's largest virgin forest of Pinus koraiensis, known as "The Home Of Korean Pine" (Wu et al. 2013).

The catalogue of tracheophyte published in 2007 (in “Floristics and Distribution of Plants in Xiao Hinggan Ling, China”) includes 1161 species belonging to 439 genera and 114 families (Cao and Li 2007). Among them, there are 59 species belonging to 30 genera and 14 families of clubmosses and ferns, 12 species belonging to 6 genera and 3 families of gymnosperms, and 1000 species belonging to 411 genera and 101 families of angiosperms. This old Checklist is mainly based on the specimen information and plant investigation and collection records of The Herbarium of Institute of Applied Ecology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IFP). In recent years, China has built a unified platform, the National Specimen Resource Platform of China (NSII) (NSII 2016) integrating digital specimen information in the whole country. The number of plant specimens in NSII was about 24 times that of IFP, reaching 10.42 million. We collect all the tracheophyte specimen information from Xiao Hinggan Ling on NSII and other materials and surveyed the region for more than 10 years. Now we present a new checklist of tracheophyte in Xiao Hinggan Ling.

Materials and methods

The data presented in the checklist are based primarily on the results of field survey for more than 10 years and published information concerning NSII, field plant survey (a list of records and plant photos), “Floristics and distribution of plants in Xiao Hinggan Ling, China” (Cao and Li 2007), The International Plant Names Index (IPNI) (http://www.ipni.org/index.html) and Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) (GBIF 2014), the newl recorded and new species are obtained from the published taxonomic articles in recent ten years (e.g., Zheng and Cao 2013, Zheng and Pan 2012, Ma 2013, Ma 2014, Wang et al. 2013), and Flora of China (FOC 2013), Species Catalogue of China (Zhu et al. 2015). Scientific name in the original data were transformed into the accepted name in the The Plant List (TPL database) (http://www.theplantlist.org/1.1/about) by Taxonomic Name Resolution Service (TNRS) (http://tnrs.iplantcollaborative.org). Finally, we unified the classification system. PPGI system was used for Pteridophyte (PPG I 2016), Christenhusz system was used for gymnosperms (Christenhusz et al. 2010, Zhang 2017), and APG? system was used for angiosperms (APG IV 2016) (Suppl. material 1).
