Urgamal, M., Oyuntsetseg, B. & Nyambayar, D. 2013. Synopsis and recent additions to the flora of Mongolia. Proc. Inst. Bot., Mongolian Academy of Sciences, 25: 53-72. SYNOPSIS AND RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF MONGOLIA Urgamal M.,1 Oyuntsetseg B.,2 Nyambayar D.2 1 Institute of Botany, Mongolian Academy of Sciences; 2National University of Mongolia urgamal@botany.mas.ac.mn; oyuna@num.edu.mn; nyambayar@num.edu.mn Abstract This is a revision of the floristic composition of Mongolia, which was based on Gubanov`s conspectus (1996). It is revealed that 3053 species and subspecies of vascular plants, belonging to 679 genera, 112 families, 39 orders, 14 classes or clades and 5 divisions (according to APG III system) occur in the Mongolian flora in total. One family (Onocleaceae), 17 genera and 338 species have been added and 407 new combinations on the species level have been made since 1996. The currently most species number of followed families: Asteraceae (459 spp.), Fabaceae (354 spp.), Poaceae (258 spp.), Rosaceae (157 spp.), Brassicaceae (155 spp.) and most additions made to the following families: Asteraceae (57 spp.), Fabaceae (52 spp.), Brassicaceae (25 spp.), Poaceae (20 spp.), Rosaceae (18 spp.) and to the following phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia: Mongolian Altai (134 spp.), Khentei (71 spp.), Mongol Daurian (64 spp.), Khangai (44 spp.), Dzungarian Gobi (44 spp.) and Khubsugul (27 spp.). Currently, in total of more 1260 new area records of the about 850 species. The at present includes in total 572 species (18.73%) endemic (151 spp.) and subendemic (421 spp.). The includes to 135 species as “very rare” in the Mongolian Red Book (2013) and 148 species in the Mongolian Red List Book (2011) to the vascular flora of Mongolia. Keywords: Conspectus, Vascular flora of Mongolia, new taxa, new distribution, endemic and subendemic composition of Mongolia and on the distribution of certain taxa in the territory of Outer Mongolia. These data were mainly gathered by the Soviet-Mongolian Integrated Biological Expeditions since 1970, organized by the Soviet and Mongolian Academies of Sciences, and by German botanists worked with botanists from the National University of Mongolia. The main works on the vascular flora of Mongolia (formerly People’s Republic of Mongolia, Outer Mongolia) have been “Key to the vascular plants of Mongolia (with an atlas)” by Grubov (1982) and “Conspectus of flora of Outer Mongolia (vascular plants)” by Gubanov (1996) and some others can be mentioned (Table 1). The conspectus (Gubanov, 1996) summed up new data on the floristic Table 1. Overview of the vascular plant species to the flora of Mongolia Sources and references Maximowciz, C.J. (1859) Grubov, V.I.

Nomenclature is based on Gubanov (1996), APG (LAPG) III (2009), IPNI (2013), WCSP (2013) and APWeb (version 13) etc. The records of new species to the flora are listed for since Gubanov`s (1996) conspectus (Table 3). Materials and Methods The Herbarium (UBA) of the Institute of Botany, MAS contains more than 125.000 specimens, and Herbarium (UBU) of the Department of Botany, NUM contains about 12.000 specimens. In total 137.000 specimens represent more than 2745 species of vascular plants belonging to over 640 genera and 108 families. The Database of the Mongolian Flora includes more 3100 species (incl. cultivated plants) of vascular plants belonging to more 690 genera in 113 families (Urgamal, 2012). Specifications to the distribution of species, in 16 phyto-geographical regions Figure 1. Map of phyto-geographical regions of Mongolia (by Grubov, 1982) Turczaninowia, Verbascum) and one family have been registered to the flora of Mongolia since Gubanov`s (1996) conpectus (Table 3, 4, 5). Therefore 407 new combinations at the species level have been made. At present, the vascular flora of Mongolia consists of 3053 species and subspecies belong to 679 genera, 112 Results New records of 338 species belong to more 162 genera and 45 families.

Key words: Apiaceae, classification system, taxonomic position, Mongolia Introduction In Mongolia, V.I. Grubov (1955) firstly registered 46 species, 26 genera in the family Apiaceae. Then, Ts. Jamsran et al (1972) reported to 14 species of 9 genera and D. Magsar & U. Ligaa (1977) to 6 species of 4 genera, in addition to previous and D. Magsar & U. Ligaa (1977) concluded the information and facts of classification, distribution, ecology and habitat on 53 species of 31 genera and V.I. Grubov (1982) on 55 species of 28 genera; N. Ulziykhutag (1984) on 65 species of 36 genera; D. Magsar et al (1986) on 58 species of 32 genera; and N. Ulziykhutag (1989) on 59 species of 30 genera. The reports confirmed that the family Apiaceae is one of bigger families in the Mongolian flora. Recently, researchers continue more detailed studies in this family. For example, I.A. Gubanov (1996) reported distribution on 66 species of 34 genera and M. Urgamal (2009 on 71 species of 35 species; N. Manibazar (2010) on 80 species of 41 genera; and M. Urgamal (2012, 2013) on 76 species of 39 genera. Mongolian researchers have been studying taxonomy of bigger genera. For example, the taxonomy of Angelica (Urgamal, 2006), Bupleurum (Urgamal, 2006; Urgamal & Sanchir, 2007, 2013), Cnidium (Urgamal, 2006, 2007), Ferula (Suran, 1996; Suran & Jamsran, 1997; Urgamal, 2000, 2001, 2009), Peucedanum (Magsar & Ligaa, 1977; Urgamal, 2008, 2009), Saposhnikovia (Urgamal, 2006), Seseli (Urgamal, 2004, 2009, 2012) has reported. Recently, researchers consider to phylogeny of the family Apiaceae, based on molecular analysis (Plunkett & Downie, 1999; Plunkett, 2001; Calvino C. & Downie S.R. 2007; Carolina I. et al. 2007; Downie et al., 1998, 2000, 2001, 2010; Urgamal, 2013). Materials and Methods The family Apiaceae specimens from the Herbarium (UBA) of the Institute of Botany, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Herbarium (UBU) of the National University of Mongolia, Herbarium (PE) of the Institute of Botany, Chinense Academy of Sciences, Herbarium (LE) Institute of Botany, Russian Academy of Sciences, Herbarium of the Tracy`s of Texas University A&M (USA) and as well as additional data, were used for the study. In a total, over 2800 sheets of specimens collected from numerous scientists during a period from between 1867 to 2011. This study was conducted using morphology, ecology and geographical traditional methods of plant systematics. The nomenclature and taxonomy based followed works of M.G. Pimenov & M.V. Leonov (1993), V.M. Vinogradova (1994), She Menglan et al. (2005), S.R. Downie et al. (1998, 2010) and classification websites and taxomonical databases of Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG III, 2009), Angiosperm Phylogeny Web (APWeb, version 12), World Checklist of Selected Plant (WCSP, 2012), International Plant Names Index (IPNI, 2012), W3 Tropicos (2012). Mongolian names of taxon by H. Ulzijkhutag (1984) were referred. The geographical analysis was carried according to V.I. Grubov (1959, 1963), A. Takhtajan (1978) and geographical distribution data of all species of family Apiaceae in botanical-geographical regionalization of the Mongolia developed by V.I. Grubov (1982). In distribution section, following description of each species, numbers are given for respective regions where species occurs (Figure 2). The ecological analysis mainly followed C. Raunkiaer (1907), I.G. Serebryakov (1964), N. Ulziikhutag (1989); endemism and conservation status were made according to V.I Grubov (1984), V.M. Vinogradova (1994), including Mongolian laws (Law of Natural Plants, 1995), Mongolian Red Book (1987, 1997) and Mongolian Plant Red List (2012). The habitat of each species is provided in details, mainly as referred in V.I. Grubov (1982). Results Taxonomy and classification system Up to date, we have officially registered 76 species belonging to 39 genera, 6 subtribes, 12 tribes (4 clades) and 2 subfamilies (Saniculoideae and Apioideae) belonging to the family Apiaceae that occur in Mongolian flora. From I.A. Gubanov works (1996), 7 genus (Anethum L., Apium L., Coriandrum L., Daucus L., Foeniculum Mill., Pastinaca L., Petroselinum Hill) and 11 species (Anethum graveolens L., Angelica saxatilis Turcz. ex Ledeb., Apium graveolens L., Bupleurum pusillum Krylov, Coriandrum sativum L., Daucus carota L., Ferula caspica M. Bieb., Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Oenanthe javanica (Blume) DC., Pastinaca sativa L., Petroselinum crispum Hill) were newly added, and 1 species (Ferula gracilis) was excluded. In addition to that two genus (Kadenia, Kitagawia) and three species (Kadenia salina, Kitagawia baicalensis, K. terebinthacea) level is new a combination. We updated classification system (by Downie et al., 2010) of the family Apiaceae in Mongolia and changed its system orders of tribes and genera (Table 1). Table 1.

Geographical analysis The geographic ranges of all species of family Apiaceae of Mongolia lie within the limits of the Holarctic Kingdom. Based on the distribution data and types of each species are distinguished and 12 grouped (Table 2). The Holarctic 5 species, Eurasian 12 species, Asian-Northern Americian 1 species, Asian 51 species. In the Asian types belong to following subtypes are original Asian 9 species, Eastern Asian 7 species, Central Asia 8 species and Siberian-Mongolian 7 species, Mongolian 20 species. In the Mongolian subtypes belong to Altay-Dzungarian-Mongolian 6 species, Mongolian-DaurianManchurian 1 species and Southern Siberian-Mongolian 13 species groups comprises. Table 2.

The family Apiaceae is distributed in all climatic zones of Mongolia. We classified all species of this family into 11 ecological groups (Figure 3), according to their each species habitat peculiarities. Basing on the predominant occurrence of the plants (collections database), following ecological groups were distinguished: xerophytes (8 species), mesoxerophytes (7 species), xeromesophytes (7 species), mesophytes (21 species), mesohalophytes (2 species), hydrophytes (2 species), mesokryophytes (7 species), hygrophytes (2 species), xeropetrophytes (9 species), xero-psammophyes (3 species) and hygro-halophytes (1 species). Endemism and Conservation status Therefore, there are 8 species of subendemic plants and divided into following two groups of subendemic plants (Figure 4, Table 4). Very rare 4 species (newly added 2 Hygrohalophyta 1.45% Hygrophyta 2.90% Hydrophyta 2.90% Xerophyta 11.59% Xeropetrophyta 13.04% Mesophyta 30.43% Xeropsammophyta 4.35% Xeromesophyta 10.14% Mesokryophyta 10.14% Mesohalophyta 2.90% Mesoxerophyta 10.14% species) and rare plant 13 species (newly added 5 species) of the family Apiaceae in Mongolian flora (Table 5).

Pimpinelleae tribe 100 Careae tribe 100 100 100 Pyramidoptereae tribe Scandiceae tribe 100 100 Oenantheae tribe Physospermopsis Clade 100 Pleurospermeae tribe Bupleureae tribe (Basal apioides) Saniculoideae subfamily (Eryngium; Protoapioids) Araliaceae family (Aralia chinensis) Figure 5. Phylogenetic tree of tribes of the family Apiaceae in Mongolian flora Discussion We updated classification system (by Downie et al., 2010) of the family Apiaceae in Mongolia and changed its system orders of tribes and all genera. The species composition of the family Apiaceae in the flora of Mongolia is revealed and their taxonomic position is revised. Identification keys for the all in level of subfamilies, tribes, subtribes, genera and species, conspectus of all taxa are given. Morphological features, which previous researchers described, fit and can be used for identifying the genera and species. Among the ecological-geographical groups, the highest number of species occurs in forest-steppe and steppe natural zones in Mongolia. Mesophytes and xero-mesophytes are dominating ecological groups. According to the geographical analysis, species of Asian type and South Siberian-Mongolian groups considered as a richest area in Apiaceae species as about 73.91% of total species occur in these regions and distribution dominate in the flora of Mongolia. Therefore, we found and added very rare 2 species (Ferula potaninii, Lithosciadium kamelinii), rare 5 species (Paraligusticum discolor, Prangos ledebourii, Sajanella monstrosa, Seseli glabratum, S. mucronatum) from the Mongolian flora. It must be integrated both morphological and molecular data in the future analysis of higher level relationships in family Apiaceae. Acknowledgments We would like to thank Prof. E.

Institute of Botany, Mongolian Academy of Sciences urgamal@botany.mas.ac.mn Abstract Family Apiaceae consists of 74 species and 37 genera, 6 sub-tribes, 12 tribes (4 clades) and 2 sub-families (Saniculoideae and Apioideae) disjunctly distributed in the Mongolian flora. As determined by extensive molecular studies and critical evaluation of morphology, the 32 genera of the family Mongolian Apiaceae. A phylogenetic analysis was conducted to clarify inter and intraspecific relationships based on sequences of the ITS and 5.8S regions of nrDNA and cpDNA (by Downie et al., 1998, 2001). We updated classification system (by Downie et al., 2010) of the family Apiaceae in Mongolia and changed its system orders, phylogenetic placement tribes and some genus. Our analyses of these molecular data, in conjunction with results of identified 12 tribes (4 clades) in Mongolian Apiaceae at the tribal rank (Urgamal, 2013). First time phylogenetic classification of Apiaceae inferred from DNA sequence data in the Mongolian flora. Keywords: Apiaceae, tribe, nrDNA & cpDNA ITS, phylogenetic placement Recently research works for phylogenetic classification of the family Apiaceae was based on taxonomic congruence among the results of phylogenetic analyses of different molecular data sets, including chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) gene (rbcL, matK) and intron (rpl16, rps16, rpoC1) sequences, cpDNA restriction sites, and nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer ITS region (ITS 1, 5.8S, and ITS 2) sequences. Sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS 1, 5.8S, and ITS 2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) have been a staple source of data for the study of lower level phylogenetic relationships among plant taxa for more than ten years (e.g., Baldwin, 1992; Baldwin et al., 1995). We investigated the utility of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and compare the results to those obtained from the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). We report that the a higher percentage of parsimony informative characters than that of ITS and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) loci examined to date. Materials and Methods Our materials including nrDNA ITS region markers is following accessions: Aegopodium kashmiricum (AF077872), Anethum graveolens (GQ148794), Angelica dahurica (JN603214), Anthriscus sylvestris (EU236159), Apium graveolens (GQ148789), Aralia chinensis (AF242256), Aulacospermum simplex (GQ379338), Bunium capillifolium (GQ379304), Bupleurum scorzonerifolium (EU001347), Carum carvi (AF077878), Cenolophium denudatum (AF077879), Cicuta virosa (AY524767), Cnidium monnieri (AY863065), Conioselinum vaginatum (FJ385041), Coriandrum sativum (HQ377194), Daucus carota (FJ415158), Eryngium planum (EU169002), Ferula dissecta (DQ379394), Ferulopsis hystrix (EU169271), Foeniculum vulgare (GQ148793), Hansenia mongholica (JF694084), Heracleum dissectum (EU185691), Oenanthe aquatica (AY691928), Paraligusticum discolor (AF077902), Pastinaca sativa (EU169305), Petroselinum crispum (GQ148797), Peucedanum terebinthaceum (JN603232), Pimpinella saxifraga (AY581801), Pleurospermum prattii (DQ270204), Prangos pabularia (AF077906), Saposhnikovia divaricata (EU592001), Schulzia albiflora (FJ385059), Seseli praecox (AY179024), Sium suave (DQ005693) and following accessions of cpDNA C1 (rpoC1): Aegopodium alpestre (U72434), Angelica dahurica (GQ248886), Aralia californica (U72480), Bupleurum chinense (U72455), Carum carvi (U72435), Cicuta virosa (U72447), Conioselinum chinense (U72452), Daucus carota (HQ593968), Ferula assafoetida (U72421), Foeniculum vulgare (GQ436171), Oenanthe pimpinelloides (U72442), Peucedanum morisonii (U72414), Pimpinella rhodantha (U72429), Prangos pabularia (U72431), Sanicula canadensis (U72461), Seseli krylovii (U72419), Sium suave (HQ594137). The molecular analysis included 32 species of nuclear and 29 species chloroplast DNA sequences, representing Results We updated classification system (by Downie et al., 2010) of the family Apiaceae in Mongolia and changed its system orders, tribes and phylogenetic genus placement of tribes and genus. Our analyses of these molecular data, in conjunction with results of identified 12 tribes (4 clades) in Mongolian Apiaceae at the tribal rank (Figure 1). Conclussion Aside from providing a framework for taxonomic revisions, the phylogenetic structure recovered in this study for subfamily Apioideae will lay the foundation for future investigations of evolutionary patterns of morphological characters and biogeography. An nrDNA 32 genera from the 12 tribes and 2 subfamilies of the family Mongolian Apiaceae and Araliaceae species is used as a outgroup taxa. Sequences of nuclear (nrDNA ITS region) and chloroplast (cpDNA rpoC1) from the published study (Downie et al., 1998, 2001) are analyzed using MEGA 5.05 software. The methodology for the alignment of nrDNA ITS region and cpDNA study data, either complete ITS 1 and ITS 2 nuclear ribosomal DNA region sequences were used. Phylogenetic analyses were carried out using Maximum Parsimony in MEGA version 5.05 software of partitioned ITS data sets resulted in highly consistent phylogenies, whereas analyses of combined molecular data resulted in trees of greatest resolution and overall branch support. Bootstrap values, however, were calculated for 1000 replicate analyses; decay values were also obtained. The resultant maximally parsimonious trees, were rooted with Aralia (Araliaceae - outgroup), having all of it`s states scored as “0”. Up to date, we have officially registered 74 species belonging to 37 genera, 6 sub-tribes, 12 tribes (4 clades) and 2 sub-families (Saniculoideae and Apioideae) belonging to the family Apiaceae that occur in the Mongolian flora (Figure 2). ITS-based classification of the subfamily is proposed that enables direct and precise references to specific groups and facilitates sampling and hypothesis testing in future systematic studies of family Mongolian Apiaceae. site and DNA sequence data. – Amer.

Recently, researchers consider to phylogeny of the family Apiaceae, based on molecular analysis (Plunkett & Downie, 1999; Plunkett, 2001; Calvino C. & Downie S.R. 2007; Carolina I. et al. 2007; Downie et al., 1998, 2000, 2001, 2010; Urgamal, 2013). Mongolian researchers have been studying taxonomy of largest genera. For example, the taxonomy of genus Angelica (Urgamal, 2006), Bupleurum (Urgamal, 2006; Urgamal & Sanchir, 2007, 2013), Cnidium (Urgamal, 2006, 2007), Ferula (Suran, 1996; Suran & Jamsran, 1997; Urgamal, 2000, 2001, 2009), Peucedanum (Magsar & Ligaa, 1977; Urgamal, 2008, 1 Materials and Methods The family Apiaceae specimens from the Herbarium (UBA) of the Institute of Botany, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Herbarium (UBU) of the National University of Mongolia, Herbarium (PE) of the Institute of Botany, Chinense Academy of Sciences, Herbarium (LE) Institute of Botany, Russian Academy of Sciences, Herbarium of the Tracy`s of Texas University A&M (USA) and as well as additional data, were used for the study. In a total, over 2800 sheets of specimens collected from numerous scientists during a period from between 1867 to 2011. The nomenclature and taxonomy based followed works of Pimenov & Leonov (1993), Vinogradova (1994), Menglan et al. (2005), Downie et al. (2010) and following professional taxonomic databases and websites: Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (APG III, 2009), Angiosperm Phylogeny Website (APWeb, version 13. 2013), World Checklist of Selected Plant (WCSP, 2013), International Plant Names Index (IPNI, 2013) and W3 Tropicos (2013). The geographical distribution data was carried in phyto-geographical regionalization (by Grubov, 1982) of the Mongolia (Figure 1). Figure 1. Map of phyto-geographical regions of the Mongolia (by Grubov, 1982) Results It is revealed that 74 species belonging to 37 genera, 6 subtribes, 12 tribes (4 clades) and 2 subfamilies (Saniculoideae and Apioideae) occur in the flora of Mongolia at present. 9 species and 4 genera have been added, 1 species (Ferula gracilis) excluded and 4 genera (Kadenia, Kitagawia, Sajanella, Seseli) and 11 species is new combination since Gubanov’s conspectus (1996).

Discussion From I.A. Gubanov works (1996), have been newly added 9 species (Anethum graveolens, Angelica saxatilis, Apium graveolens, Bupleurum pusillum, B. longiinvolucratum, Coriandrum sativum, Ferula caspica, Oenanthe javanica, 6 Pastinaca sativa) and 4 genera (Anethum, Apium, Coriandrum, Pastinaca). In addition to that 4 genera (Kadenia, Kitagawia, Sajanella, Seseli) and 11 species (Angelica decurrens, Kadenia salina, Kitagawia baicalensis, K. terebinthacea, Sajanella monstrosa, Seseli abolinii, S. buchtormense, S. condensatum. S. eriocarpum, S. grubovii, S. seseloides) level is new a combination. Therefore, have been found newly very rare 3 species (Bupleurum longiinvolucratum, Ferula potaninii, Lithosciadium kamelinii) and rare 3 species (Paraligusticum discolor, Seseli glabratum, S. mucronatum) from the Mongolian flora. The cultivated plants followed in the Apiaceae family: Daucus carota L., Foeniculum vulgare Mill., Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Hyman. ex A.W. Hill. Acknowledgments I would like to thanks Dr., prof.
