Chinese scientists have discovered and named a new genus of plants

chinese scientists after many years of research, found and named a new genus of plants - the genus of the genus of the genus. The results were recently published in
Journal.Tan Yunhong, author of the
paper and an associate researcher at the Xishuangpanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said the new genus found belongs to Panlichi, a species-rich pan-tropical merinomic plant department with about 2,500 species of trees, shrubs and vines, which is an important component of the lowland rainforest ecosystem.
about the origin of the new genus, Tan Yunhong said, starting with the species of woody ginger leaves. "Wood ginger leaves have long been considered a special species in The Dark Genus of China, but because of the small number of specimens and the short flowering period they make it more difficult to collect, there are questions about the location of their systems."
In recent years, with the continuous deepening of field expeditions, researchers from the Xishuangbana Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have collected more specimens of the mugging leaves in Yunnan Province, Linyi, Jinghong, Jiangcheng, etc., and based on the resulting materials, the researchers have carried out more detailed research on the species.
results show that the species is not close to the genus of dark and only-child wood. Tan Yunhong said: "Based on a variety of comprehensive evidence, we have classified the wood ginger leaves as a new genus, and named this new genus as the Genoatology genus, in memory of the late Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Mr. Wu Zhengxuan, who made a significant contribution to botany research." the main features of the
is: deciduous trees, leaf handle base puffy, wrapped leaf shank buds;
addition, based on extensive specimen reviews and field trips, the researchers found that the new genus was not limited to China, but was widely distributed in lowland tropical forests in India-Myanmar biodiversity hotspots.
Tan Yunhong said that despite the wide range of known distributions of the genus, only limited populations were found in all regions. According to the IWF Red Book of Endangered Species, it is considered endangered and needs to be protected more urgently. (Source: XinhuaNet Yue Ran)
