First record of Calanthe aristulifera (Orchidaceae) in Korea

신안새우난초(난초과): 한반도 미기록종

  • Published : 2009.12.31

Abstract

Here, we report a previously unrecorded species, Sin-an-sae-u-nan-cho (Calanthe aristulifera Rchb. f.). It was discovered on Heuksan Island in Jeollanam-do. Its natural habitat was a subtropical forest. The species can easily be characterized by the simple trichomes on the back of its leaves and spur. This species is important because new horticultural races of Calanthe can be developed by cross-breeding with other species of Calanthe.

난대림 지역인 전라남도 신안군 흑산면에서 발견된 한반도 미기록 1종 신안새우난초(Calanthe aristulifera Rchb. f.)를 보고한다. 신안새우난초는 잎의 뒷면에 털이 있고 거가 있다는 점에서 이미 보고된 새우난초속(Calanthe)의 다른 종들과 쉽게 구별된다. 신안새우난초는 새우난속의 교배품종 개발에 매우 중요한 종이다.
