在2011年，特產(chǎn)我國南部的算盤樓梯草(ElatostemaglochidioidesW.T.Wang)被歸并于特產(chǎn)大洋洲薩瓦伊島的密枝樓梯草(E.ramosissimumReinecke)。最近我研究了二種植物的標(biāo)本，了解到二種雖在體態(tài)上甚為相似，但存在重要形態(tài)區(qū)別：在算盤樓梯草，葉上面被短糙伏毛，下面無毛，具三出脈，雌頭狀花序的花序托明顯，雌花無花被片，瘦果具縱肋。在密枝樓梯草，葉上面無毛，下面中脈上被糙伏毛，具半離基三出脈，雌花有3(-4)花被片，瘦果有小瘤狀突起。根據(jù)上述重要區(qū)別，本文將算盤樓梯草的種的身份以恢復(fù)。

In 2011,in a paper on the genusElatostema(Urticaceae)[1],Lin et al.ascertained that they “found no difference in morphological characters” betweenElatostemaramosissimumReinecke endemic to Savaii Island[2]of Oceania andE.glochidioidesW.T.Wang endemic to southern China[3～4],and reduced the latter into the synonymy of the former.Recently,I fortunately got the type specimens ofE.ramosissimum,and can make comparisons between two species.After my observing all the specimens available to me,I did find out that between two species there were certain important morphological differences.E.glochidioides,though it really has a strong resemblance in habit toE.ramosissimum,certainly differs from the species in its trinerved,not ciliate leaves,with strigillose adaxial surfaces and glabrous abaxial surfaces,and with secondary nerves 1 at leaf narrow side and 2 at broad side,in its pistillate capitula with conspicuous receptacles,in its pistillate flower lacking tepals,and in its longitudinally ribbed achenes[3～4].InE.ramosissimum,the leaves are ciliate at margin,adaxially glabrous and abaxially on midrib strigose,semi-triplinerved,with the lateral basal nerve at leaf narrow side near its base connate with midrib by a length of 0.8-1 mm,and in each leaf with 3 secondary nerves at leaf narrow side and 4 seondary nerves at broadside;the receptacles of pistillate capitula are very small,inconspicuous;the pistillate flower has 3(-4) tepals;and the achenes are minutely tuberculate,not ribbed.On the basis of the morphological differences just mentioned I would restore the specific status ofElatostemaglochidioidesW.T.Wang here,and provide new descriptions of two species as follows.

In observing two isotypes,I failed to seek out a staminate capitulum.So,the descriptions of it and the staminate flower are translated from the original description in Latine.

ElatostemaglochidioidesisDecidedlyUnconspecificwithE.famosissimum

In 2011,ElatostemaglochidioidesW. T. Wang, a species endemic to southern China, was reduced into the synonymy ofE.ramosissimumReinecke, a species endemic to Savaii Island of Oceania. Two species have rather similar habit, but there are important morphological differences. InE.glochidioides, the leaves are adaxially strigose, abaxially glabrous, and trinerved; the pistillate capitula have conspicuous receptacles; the pistillate flower lacks tepals; and the achenes are longitudinally ribbed. InE.ramosissimum, the leaves are adaxially glabrous, abaxially on midrib strigose, and semi-triplinerved; the receptacles of pistillate capitula are very small, inconspicuous; the pistillate flower has 3(-4) tepals; and the achenes are minutely tuberculate. On the basis of the morphological differences just mentioned the specific status ofE.glochidioidesis restored here.
