Review on the taxonomy of Viburnum L.
摘要
Abstract
Viburnum L.is a widely distributed woody genus in the family Viburnaceae,with approximately 197 species worldwide.Most species of this genus possess significant ornamental value and medicinal value,rendering them valuable resources for the horticulture and pharmaceutical industries.Clarifying their taxonomic ambiguities is crucial for guiding the development,utilization,and conservation of these resources.This paper systematically summarizes the changes of the systematic position of the genus Viburnum,intra-generic taxonomic history,as well as the main evidence and methods put forward the existing problems and solutions.(1)The systematic position of Viburnum has undergone multiple adjustments across different classification systems,and its stable status within the Viburnaceae(order Dipsacales)has finally been confirmed and it is the common sister group to all other genra in the family.(2)The delimitation of the genus and the division of its intra-generic taxa have also been revised repeatedly,evolving from the broad circumscription in early studies to the more refined classification,and the"genus-section-species"taxonomic hierarchy is currently widely accepted and applied in academic research,with the delimitation of major intra-generic taxa becoming relatively clear.(3)Contemporary research on the systematic taxonomy of Viburnum has formed an integrated multiple-disciplinary framework,incorporating evidence from morphology,micromorphology,anatomy,cytology,palynology,phytochemistry,and molecular systematics,which provides multi-dumensional evidential support for classification revision.(4)Current research still has some limitations,the phylogenetic relationships of some clades remain unresolved,taxonomic boundaries between certain closely related species and within some species are still ambiguous,the classification system of this genus requires further improvement,and comprehensive sampling and accurate species identification are urgently needed.(5)Future studies should expand the scope of sample collection and strengthen multi-regional surveys and integrative studies,and provide a scientific reference for the rational development and effective conservation of those resources of this genus.关键词
