アジアのキク科植物4  [in Japanese] Compositae asiaticae 4  [in Japanese]

This is the continuation of Compositae asiaticae 3 in Acta Phytotax. Geobot. 41: 77-92 (1990). In this report, the writer treats mainly Ainsliaea, Carpesium, Cirsium, Dendranthema, etc. It is interesting that Cirsium japonicum, Leontopodium japonicum and Saussurea japonica are not yet found in Yunnan, while they are found in the middle and the north China and eastern to Japan. Such species are numerous, though there are many species common to Yunnan and Japan. Between Yunnan, Western Szechwan, Western Kweichow and Eastern Szechwan, Easter Kweichow, there is a botanical distributional border, as already known. This border is recognized also in this report.
