한국 회나무(Euonymus planipes), 참회나무(E. oxyphyllus)와 나래회나무(E. macropterus)의 잎의 형질비교

Abstract

Leaves of 166 specimens were sampled to investigate patterns of interspecific variation and to evaluate recognition of Euonymus planipes, E. oxyphyllus, and E. macropterus using four leaf characters(length, width, apex length, and petiole length). This study suggested that these leaf characters were not useful to identify these taxa. Therefore, it is only possible to identify these closely related taxa based on flower and fruit characters unlike other horticulturists' view.
