报道了我国西北祁连山地区的锈菌计15属(含式样属)104种。所引标本均保存于中国科学院菌物标本馆(HMAS)。对每个种仅列出名称、寄主植物名称、采集地及馆藏标本编号。涉及的地区包括祁连山主体及属于祁连山系的冷龙岭、走廊南山、乌鞘岭、达坂山、大通山、托来山和野马南山西部余脉等地。这是一份记载比较完整的名录,是对过去的相关零散报道的补充和修订。初步分析表明,祁连山地区锈菌区系以北温带成分和旧世界温带成分为主体。特有种不明。中亚成分和东亚成分并存是本区系的特色,但若与毗邻的秦岭锈菌区系比较,其东亚成分锐减。青藏高原区系成分参与了本区系的共建,但喜马拉雅常见的热带属、种均不存在。北面的腾格里沙漠、巴丹吉林沙漠和蒙古戈壁可能阻隔了本区系与西西伯利亚-阿尔泰锈菌区系的联系,仅见少数的环北方种和北温带种作为此两区系的共有种。
One hurdred four species in 15 genera (including form genera)identified as rust specimens were collected from Qilian Mountains and their adjacent areas of northwestern China has yielded. This is the first report containing a fairly respectable number of rusts of the mountain range. All of studied specimens are deposited in Herbarium Mycologicum Academiae Sinicae in Beijing (HMAS). The checklist includes rust names, host plant names, collection localities, and HMAS accession number of cited specimens. The rust flora of Qilian Mountains mainly consists of north temperate and old-world temperate elements. The flora is characterized by coexistence of Central Asian and East Asian floristic components. East-Asian elements in this region are significantly reduced as compared with those in Qinling Mountains of Central China. The floristic members of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are included in the floristic composition, although the abundant tropical genera and species in Himalaya are entirely absent in this region. Tengger Desert, Badain Jaran Desert and Mongolian Gobi on the north of the mountains probably impede intermigration of rusts, resulting in the separation of the rust flora of this region from that of West Siberia and the Ahai. Only a few of circumboreal and north temperate species can be regarded as links between the rust flora and that of West Siberia and the Ahai.
