Abstract

The infraspecific taxa of Adonis amurensis Regel et Radde are currently known to include one subspecies (subsp. nanus Y. Lee), two varieties (var. ramosa Makino, and var. dissectipetalis Y. Lee) and two forms (for. argentatus Y. Lee, and for. viridescensicalyx Y. Lee). Among them, the remaining three taxa except for subsp. nanus and var. dissectipetalis are unified with A. amurensis. Therefore, we examined the morphological characteristics and geographical distribution of A. amurensis in effort to elucidate the taxonomic status of subsp. nanus and var. dissectipetalis. After the subsp. nanus samples had been transplanted from their type locality, i.e. highland at more than 1,000 m above sea level, to a lowland habitat, we measured the samples' morphological characteristics. The range of values we recorded of the plant height and floral diameter from the subsp. nanus samples were within the parameters used to characterize A. amurensis. Accordingly, subsp. nanus has been characterized as an ecophene of A. amurensis. It is considered as a synonym of A. amurensis. Among the populations of A. amurensis (sensu Y.Lee, author), those with highly dissected petals at their apices have previously been described as var. dissectipetalis. However, this characteristic has been observed together with obtuse or rounded petal apices not only in one population but also in a single individual. However, populations with these characteristics belong to A. pseudoamurensis due to the simultaneous development of leaves and flowers, branched stems, acute leaf apices, and petals that are shorter than sepals. Therefore, we suggest that A. amurensis var. dissectipetalis be unified with A. pseudoamurensis. Very useful characteristics for distinguishing A. amurensis from its relative species are anthesis, the presence or absence of branches, the development of scales into normal leaves, the relative length of the sepals and petals, and the position of the stipules. A. amurensis is geographically restricted to E. Asia, including E. Siberia, and especially on the Korean Peninsula, it is distributed throughout the northern provinces of Gyeonggi province and in Gangwon province, Gyeongbuk province (Mt. Bohyeon-san) and Jeonbuk province (Mt Jeoksang-san) along Baekdudaegan mountain.

Adonis amurensis Regel et Radde의 종내 분류군으로서는 subsp. nanus Y. Lee, var. dissectipetalis Y. Lee, var. ramosa Makino, for. argentatus Y. Lee, for. viridescensicalyx Y. Lee의 1아종 2변종, 2품종이 알려져 왔다. 이들 중 앞의 두 변종을 제외한 나머지는 이전의 연구들에 의해서 이미 이명으로 분류학적 처리가 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 아직 검증되지 않은 subsp. nanus와 var. dissectipetalis의 분류형질을 조사하여 이들 2분류군에 대한 실체를 규명하기 위하여, A. amurensis의 외부형태학적 형질 및 한반도에서의 분포역을 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과, subsp. nanus를 해발 1,000 m 이상의 고지인 기준채집지로부터 채집하여 이식재배한 결과, 식별형질인 식물체와 꽃의 크기의 범위가 A. amurensis var. amurensis 내에 포함되는 일종의 ecophene으로 판단되어 기본종에 통합시켰다. 또한, var. dissectipetalis는 분류형질인 화피선단부가 결각상으로 많이 갈라지는 특징이 한 개체군에서 뿐 만 아니라 한 개체내에서도 둔두형, 원두형과 함께 모두 나타났다. 그러나 꽃과 잎이 동시에 발달하고, 줄기가 분지하며, 엽선은 예두, 악편은 화피편보다 짧은 외부형태학적인 특징으로 볼 때, A. amurensis 보다는 A. pseudoamurensis의 변이체로 판단되어 A. pseudoamurensis에 통합하였다. 잎의 발달시기, 줄기의 분지여부, 인엽의 정상엽으로의 발달여부, 악편과 화피편의 길이, 탁엽의 위치 등의 형질은 A. amurensis와 근연종들과의 분류에 있어 매우 유익한 형질로 나타났다. A. amurensis는 동시베리아를 포함하여 중국, 일본, 한국에 생육하며, 한반도에서는 북한전역과 남한의 경기 북부 및 백두대간을 따라 강원, 경북(보현산), 전북(적상산)까지 분포하는 것으로 조사되었다.
