Study on the Distribution Characteristics of Osyris L. Resources Based on Specimens
Faculty of Forestry, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China
| Abstract: | The genus Osyris L. is evergreen shrub or small tree, which has important ecological value, economic value and medicinal value. In this study, the collction data were collected and organized, based on the digital specimens of Osyris from major herbariums; the distribution pattern of Osyris was studied through the information recorded by these specimens. The results showed that: (1) The specimens of Osyris were first collected by Swedish botanist Linnaeus in 1753, and the collections of Osyris in foreign countries were much earlier than that in China; (2) The number of specimens collected showed a trend of increasing over time, and showed a peak period in 1831-1832, 1929-1945, 1951-1966, 1972-1993 and 2005-2020 periods; (3) The plants of Osyris are mainly distributed between 41.32°N-34.85°S, 9.27°W-109.03°E, concentrated in the European Mediterranean region, eastern and southern Africa, southern and southeastern Asia, and the altitude is in the range of 0-3900 m, with diverse habitats; (4) The genus Osyris is widely distributed and has strong adaptability, thus it has some values in ecological restoration. |
