More Information
Summary:A  taxonomic  revision  of Tibetia  (Ali)  Tsui  is  provided  and  one  new  combination Tibetia  yunnanensis  (Franch.)  H. P. Tsui var. coelestis (Diels) X. Y. Zhu is proposed. So far the genus Tibetia comprises five species and one variety. Research on herbarium specimens has provided the data on which this revision of the genus is based. This genus is distinct from the closely related genus Gueldenstaedtia based on chromosome data, pollen and seed morphology and morphological characters. A key to all species and varieties is provided. A description and notes on distribution, ecology and phenology are provided for each taxon, as are illustrations and distribution maps. © 2005 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2005, 148, 475–488.
