Taxonomic Studies of the Plants of Seram Island

塞拉姆(Ceram)是一个热带岛屿，自然地理上指的是马来东部的摩鹿加群岛，以其山地地形和钙质地质为特点。1986年台湾植物学考察期间，共采集维管植物标本3 400个，苔藓植物标本2 300个。1983、1984-85、1986年3次考察共采集维管束植物11000个、苔藓植物5000个。分类研究发现许多新的分类单元，包括一新属和不同科陆生植物的新种，一个新记录的苔藓科(Calomniaceae)，Seram的蕨类植物区系丰富，约700种，是世界上植物种类最丰富的岛屿之一。还对蛇舌兰科、卷柏科、海兰科进行了比较形态和解剖学研究。

Seram (Ceram) is a tropical island Phytogeographically referred to the Moluccas of east Malesia and characterized by its montainous topography and calcareous geology. During the 1986 botanical expedition to the island,specimens under 3400 field numbers of vascular plants and 2300 of bryophytes were collected.The total field numbers collected during the three expeditions of 1983,1984-85 and 1986 are 11000 of vascular plants and 5000 of bryophytes.Taxonomic studies show remarkable novelties such as many new taxa including a new genus Hattoriolejeunia and new species in different families of land plants,a moss family (Calomniaceae) new to Malesia,richness of pteridophyte flora of Seram with ca.700 species indicating it as one of the richest island in the world.Comparative morphological and anatomical studies were also made for Ophioglossaceae,Selaginellaceae,and Himantandraceae.
