Responsor from the
Kunming plant was informed that the institute's very small population of wild plants integrated protection team researchers in Sichuan Province, Liangshan County, Pug County, Lulu Mountain, Muli County, when the investigation, found that had been assessed as "wild extinction" of the dead rudulu, there is only one plant, rewriting the history of the "wild extinction" of the dead rudulu.
researchers believe it is necessary to take further "carpet-type" systematic investigation, thoroughly find out the resource base of the species, and carry out "rescue protection" and systematic research.
it is understood that in September 1929, the American botanist Locke in the mountains of southwestern Sichuan, a specimen of azaleas, later named the dry rudulu. In the Red List of Biodiversity in China - Higher Plant Roll, jointly released by the Ministry of Environmental Protection of China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2013, and in the Red List of Higher Plants in China published in 2017, the dried-up rhododendrons were assessed as extinct in the wild. Since 1929, the Chinese Digital Plant Specimens Museum has only recorded the "suspected dried-up Ruduyu" specimens taken in 2008 from Lushan, Pug County, Liangshan County, Sichuan Province.Ma Yongpeng, a researcher at Kunming Plant Institute, told reporters that the dead mountainous area of Muli County no longer exists on the map, and after consulting the relevant information, researchers found the relevant records in "The Muli Kingdom of the Yellow Lama of China (illustrated version)," "kulu" means "Kangwood" in Muli County, while Muli The only key word retained in the county is the Kangwood Temple, built during the Ming Dynasty, based on this expedition to the mountains around kangwood Temple conducted a two-day investigation,
", just when everyone felt that the investigation is hopeless and about to go down the mountain, we found a cluster of flower clusters of azaleas. After comparing with the model specimen and checking with the Chinese Botany, we confirmed it to be a dead rhododendron. Ma Yongpeng said.Lu Dujuan (
