尾叶纤穗爵床(Leptostachya caudatiflora H. S.Lo & D.Fang)的花药下方一室基部具距,应为爵床属植物,提出1个新组合——尾叶爵床(Justicia caudatifolia (H.S.Lo & D.Fang) Z.P.Hao,Y.F.Deng &T.Daniel),而纤穗爵床属仍为单种属。
While preparing a treatment of Acanthaceae for the forthcoming Flora of China,Leptostachya caudatifolia H.S.Lo D.Fang was found to show more similarities to Justicia L.than to Leptostachya Nees (e.g.,its lower anther-theca spurred at a base and biaperturate pollen).A new combination,Justicia caudatifolia (H.S.Lo D. Fang) Z.P.Hao Y.F.Deng T.F.Daniel,is proposed herein, while Leptostachya wallichii Nees remains in the monospecific genus Leptostachya.
