Blog-19 中国産イチハツ西欧文献,H. F. Hance Iris tomiolopha,Franchet “Plantæ Davidianæ”

Iris tectorum

 西欧に最初に紹介されたのは,日本で栽培されていたイチハツであったが,中国に西欧人が入るようになると,原産地の中国で実際に庭で育てたり,野生からの採取が行われたりして,西欧にその情報が伝えられた.初期に欧州で育苗園や,植物園で育てられたのは,中国から送られた種からであろう.

イギリスの外交官のハンスは,1814年に中国に派遣され、外交官の仕事の余暇に中国の植物を収集し,英国の植物雑誌などに多くの新種を発表した.彼は中国人の庭に育てられていたイチハツを自分の庭で栽培し,性状が Iris tectorum と異なる新種と判断し,Iris tomiolophaの学名をつけて,1872 年に英国の植物誌に発表した.しかし後に I.  tectorum と同一種と判明し,この学名は Iris tectorum synonym とされている.
ハンスが英国に送った種は無事に成長し花を開き,1874年にはカーチスのボタニカルマガジンに美しい多色石版画で紹介された.(次記事)

また,日本産植物の研究をサバティエの採取した標本に基づいて行い『日本植物目録』(1875 - 79) を出版したフランシェは,パンダやハンカチノキを西欧に初めて紹介したダヴィット神父が採取し,パリの自然博物館に送った腊葉標本を研究した.その成果を “Plantae Davidianae ex Sinarum imperio ” で発表したが,その中には,イチハツもあり,三点のイチハツの標本が現在 NET で見ることができる.

ヘンリー・フレッチャー・ハンスHenry Fletcher Hance1827 - 1886)は,イギリスの外交官で,1814年に香港に派遣され,その後,広州の黄埔の副領事,広東の領事,厦門の領事を務め,厦門で没し,香港に埋葬された.外交官の仕事の余暇に中国の植物を収集し,英国植物雑誌などに多くの新種を発表した.
彼は地元(Whampoa, 黄埔)の庭に植えられていたイチハツの根茎を得て,自分の庭で栽培し,二年後に花が咲いた.この植物の性状が Iris tectorum と異なると判断し,Iris tomiolophaの学名をつけて,1872 年に英国の植物誌 “Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. London, Vol. 10” に新種として発表した.しかし後にI. tectorum と同一種と判明し,現在この学名は I. tectorum synonym とされている.

The above character is drawn up from specimens which flowered with
me in April of this year for the first time, the rhizomes having been obtained
two years ago from a native garden, where the plant was cultivated
for ornament. It is probably a native of one of the interior provinces.
Though the rhizomes are almost tasteless, they leave in the throat, when
chewed, a very unpleasant sensation of heat, acridity, and dryness. The
affinity of this very handsome species is with the Japanese I. tectorum,
Maxim. ; the Nipalese I. decora, Wall. ; and the North American I. cristata,
Ait. The former differs from the description * in having very acuminate
and deeply keeled leaves, a two-valved spathe, with the valves blunt, and
I suppose nearly equal ; both series of the perigone-segments reflexed and
alike in shape, besides other points. The second has longer, narrower, and
sharper leaves,—I believe a two-valved spathe,—the perigone-segments
are differently coloured and split, the crest is smaller and merely toothed,
and the stigmas are of a different shape and longer. I. cristata, winch
agrees with the Chinese plant in its 3-valved spathe, is much smaller; the
leafy shoots are stalked, the perigone-tube is thread-like, exceeds the
spathe, and is much longer than the segments, which are uniform in
colour, and with a different crest, etc.
The section to which this plant and its allies belong,—and which might
be called Lophiris —has been altogether overlooked by M. Spach in his
revision of the genus, + which, notwithstanding its many omissions,—
arising mainly from a praiseworthy resolution not to attempt to class
species of this difficult genus only known to him from dried specimens,—
is, in my judgment, a more successful attempt at a natural grouping of
the species than those which have since been made by Parlatore, Will-
komm, Klatt, and Alefeld. Although the genus Iris, as usually circum-
scribed, shows considerable diversity of structure, yet the different modi-
fications are so variously combined, that no two of the botanists who have
proposed its dismemberment are at all agreed as to the limits of the genera

to be admitted, those of one author in every instance encroaching on those
of others, and including one or more species classed differently by some
other writer.* This in itself seems to me a convincing proof that the old
genus is far more natural than the proposed segregates. I think, however,
that Hermodactylus, which is distinguished by the remarkable character
of a unilocular ovary, has been rightly separated by Parlatore, but with
this exception, so far from dismembering the genus, I should be rather
inclined, as suggested by M. Spach, to augment it by the addition of
Moræa. Mr. Baker has recently detached the bulbous species from
those furnished with a rhizome;+ but it is to be observed that these dif-
ferences are not associated with co-extensive peculiarities of floral struct-
ure, plants which agree in this respect being sometimes manifestly allied
to members of the other series. Moreover, I believe it to be unphiloso-
phical to found a genus on a solitary vegetative character ; and, although
there is a tendency on the part of pteridologists and bryologists to exalt
such characters at the expense of those derived from the reproductive
organs, or at any rate to assign them a co-ordinate value, such a course,
when dealing with flowering plants, is certainly opposed to the consensus
of botanists. If Mr. Baker's views are adopted, it will be necessary, in
the allied Order Liliacece, to separate the section Rhiziridium from the
bulbous Allia.

日本産植物の研究を,お雇い外国人として横須賀製鉄所に勤務していたサバティエの採取した標本に基づいて行い『日本植物目録』(Enumeratio Plantarum in Japonia Sponte Crescentium, 1875 - 79) を出版したフランシェ (Adrien René Franchet, 1834-1900) は,パンダやハンカチノキを西欧に初めて紹介したダヴィット神父 (Armand David, 1826 - 1900) が中国各地で採取し,パリの自然博物館に送った腊葉標本を研究したが,その内には,52の新種が発見された.その成果は Plantae Davidianae ex Sinarum imperio ” (1884 – 1900) に発表されたが,その第一巻にはイチハツを神父が 1873年の四月に,中国のほぼ中央に位置する陝西省南部の丘で観察したと,引用文献と共に掲載されている.
フランシェは,サバティエが横須賀で採取したイチハツの腊葉標本を見ていて, I. Tectorum と同定していたので(『日本植物目録』,前記事),この同定を行えたのであろう.
