Abstract

Acer pictum complex (A. pictum Thunb. ex Murray with varieties, A. okamotoanum Nakai, A. truncatum Bunge) in eastern Asia causes frequent difficulty in identification. One hundred twenty five specimens from A. pictum complex of China, Korea and Japan and A. cappadocicum var. sinicum of China were compared to investigate patterns of intra- and interspecific variation and to evaluate a recognition of several species as well as many varieties using 22 characters for morphometric analysis. The first three PCA accounted for 59% of the total variance. No strong discontinuities existed among taxa with respect to fruit and leaf characters. Much overlap among all taxa occurred the central region of the scatter diagram. Many characters appeared to show some clinal variation with changes from east of China to Japan through Korea. This was true not only when all species as considered as a single taxon, but when characters of individual taxa were compared with geography. As one considers a path from the western part of the ranges to areas to the east, the leaves become larger in most respects and become increasingly many lobed (five to seven or nine). In general, there was a tendency toward larger nutlet with smaller wing in the area toward northeast of China (=A. truncatum), while in the east of ranges (Island Ullung-do), plants were larger with respect to characters of fruit and leaves (=A. okamotoanum). The morphological differentiation between A. okamotoanum and Japanese and Korean individuals of A. pictum was not considered sufficient to warrant recognition of either specific or varietal status and should be treated as con specific under A. pictum var. mono. Since the lectotype of Acer pictum had minute hairs uniformly on the under surface of leaves(A. pictum var. pictum), the glabrous type of A. pictum was called A. pictum var. mono as Ohahsi suggested. The univaraite analysis (the mean and maximum/minium of nutlet size and wing/nutlet length ratio) indicated geographical differentiation of northeastern populations, A. truncatum, was distinctive, but Korean individuals of A. truncatum showed an affinity between Chinese individuals of A. truncatum and Korean individuals of A. Pictum var. mono. The current results, together with qualitative character, trunk features, justify subspecific status for this taxon. The previous varieties of A. mono in Korea were indistinguishable from typical form of A. Pictum var. mono on the basis of the wing angle and nutlet size, rejecting continued recognition of these taxa as distinctive varieties. Therefore, it is recommended that only one polymorphic species of A. pictum be recognized in addition to three varieties.

분류학적으로 어려움이 있는 고로쇠 분류군(Acer pictum complex)은 한국, 중국, 일본의 고로쇠와 여러 변종 이외에 만주고로쇠, 우산고로쇠 등이 포함된다. 고로쇠 분류군의 주요 형질은 대부분 열매의 크기, 각도, 날개의 크기, 잎의 결각 등 정량형질로 인정되고 있어, 본 연구는 한중일(韓中日)의 125개체, 17개의 정량 형질, 5개의 형질간 비율 등 모두 22개의 형질로 다변량(PCA분석)과 단변량분석을 실시하였다. 다변량분석에 의하면 3개의 성분(PC) eigenvalues 누적비율이 0.59(ca. 59%)로서 매우 낮은 수치를 보였고 대부분 PCA상의 좌표 중앙에 몰리면서 종간 차이가 중첩되었다. 분포 영역의 동쪽에 분포하는 울릉도의 우산고로쇠는 열매와 잎의 형태에 있어 일본의 서쪽연안(일본해(日本海)=동해(東海))의 개체들과 중첩되었다. 한국의 경기도 서해안과 강원도 일대의 일부 개체중 중국 동북부에 분포하는 만주고로쇠형이 일부 관찰되었지만 한국의 고로쇠와 전형적인 만주고로쇠형(날개와 종자의 비=0.7이상)의 중간 형태를 확인하였다. 조사 형질중 날개의 길이, 날개/종자 길이의 비, 열매 각도는 우산고로쇠, 티벳고로쇠, 만주고로쇠 등을 구분하는 양상을 보였지만 한중일(韓中日)의 고로쇠 개체를 포함할 경우 모두 연속 변이로 확인되어 종간 식별이 불가능하였다. 따라서, 중국 내륙에서 일본까지 분포하는 고로쇠와 중국 동북부지역에서 황하강이북, 한국 북부, 중부지방의 경기도섬과 강원도지역에 분포하는 만주고로쇠, 울릉도의 우산고로쇠, 중국 남부에서 일본 Hokkaido이남에서 한국의 남부에 분포하는 털고로쇠는 모두 하나의 종으로 보는 것이 타당하다. 그러나, 조사된 정량적 형질이외에 종간 식별에 중요한 정성적 형질(털의 유무, 수피형태)과 지리적 분포를 고려하여 국내 분포하는 분류군을 고로쇠, 털고로쇠, 만주고로쇠 등 3 변종으로 정리하였다.
