本年初，在PhytoKeys发表了地梢瓜的修订文章。现根据新近看到的一些资料，做些补充与更正。

1、形态描述：在原来审稿中，根据审稿人意见删去了花药、花粉器、种子的过多描述。现补上，并略删减。尤其种子在蒙药里入药，不应过度简化。附上中文描述，下划线标注一些关键特征。

Perennial suffrutescent sometimes lianescent herbs, usually densely shortly pubescent throughout, with white latex, arising from monopodial slightly woody creeping slender brown rhizome up to 3 m × 3 mm, with wiry horizontal offshoots. Stem and branches straight or twining above, green to dark purple; when straight 10–40 cm long, erect or ascending, simple or much divaricately branched from base, with internodes 2–30 mm long; when twining up to 2 m long, little branched, with internodes 4–8 cm long. Leaves opposite or sometimes subopposite, rarely 3- or 4-whorled, with petioles 0.5–10 (–12) mm long or subsessile; blade green, thin, linear, narrowly lanceolate, oblong-lanceolate or occasionally broadly lanceolate, 2–10.5 × 0.1–2 (–2.3) cm, apex shortly acute, obtuse or acuminate, rarely rounded, base slightly oblique, attenuate, cuneate, truncate or rounded, with colleters, margins entire, ciliolate, often revolute; mid-vein elevated abaxially, lateral veins obscure; both surfaces densely pubescent, sometimes glabrate, except the mid-veins on lower surface. Inflorescences alongside the leaf axils to terminal, with 1–10 fragrant flowers, shortly umbel- to raceme-like; peduncles 1–10 (–50) × 0.5–1.5 mm, puberulent; pedicels 1.2–10 × 0.2–0.6 mm, puberulent. Sepals ± half length of corolla, oblong, triangular or lanceolate, 1–2.8 × 0.3–0.8 mm, puberulent, ciliate, apex obtuse, acute or acuminate. Corolla white or greenish-white to yellow, 3–5 × 3–8 mm, usually glabrous, sometimes sparsely puberulent on dorsal surface and inside tube, rarely densely puberulent on both surfaces; tube 0.5–1.5 mm long; lobes 4.3–5.2 × 0.8–1.5 mm, narrowly triangular, lanceolate, oblong or oblong-ovate, apically twisted clockwise, apex ± acute or obtuse, sometimes retuse. Corona of 5 slightly fleshy lobes partly fused at bases, cupular, 0.8–1.8 mm long, shorter or longer than gynostegium; tube shorter than anthers, 0.3–0.7 mm long; lobes oval, triangular-lanceolate to linear, apices erect or incurved, acute, acuminate, obtuse or rounded, 0.5–1.4 mm long, sinuses between theses each with or without a minute triangular tooth. Anthers 5, square, 0.3–0.7 mm long; appendages white, membraneous, erect, ovate-triangular to lanceolate, 0.7–1 × ca. 0.4 mm, as long as gynostegia, 1–2 times the length of anthers, with sparse thick cilia, apex acute or acuminate; pollinaria 5; corpusculum ovoid or ellipsoid, somewhat shorter or half-length of pollinia, 190–200 μm long, 100–150 μm wide, slightly narrowed toward base; caudicles obliquely pendent, 108–150 μm long, thick, attached to apical pollinia, enlarged at the point of attachment to pollinia; pollinia pendulous, oblate or ellipsoid, 228–334 × 119–133 μm. Gynostegia sessile; head conical, bilobed, convex or slightly concave. Follicles paired or single, ovoid-fusiform, ventricose, 4–10 × 0.8–2.5 cm, apex obtuse or attenuated, smooth or colliculate, puberulent; seeds reddish-brown, flat, ovate or subelliptical, 5–10 × 3–5 mm, smooth or sometimes with dark brown granules scattered over one or both surfaces; bottom obtuse-rounded, top truncate, margin wing-like, entire or slightly repand; the concave surface with a slightly elevated and darker line (linear hilum) about 2/3 length of the seed; coma white, 1–2.4 cm long, attached to micropylar end.

2、Cynanchum thesioides 的模式指定：原文指定K.F. Karo 127 (BRNM [15481/36], ex herb. J. Freyn)  为主模式，并认为保存在PR的两份标本K.F. Karo s.n. (BR [PR793598, PR793599]) 很可能不是isotype。尽管这几份标本都是在1871年7月24至8月5日采集的，但无法确定后两份标本是否与BRNM的标本是在同一天采集的。不过，我们最初是将BRNM与BR的标本视为syntypes，因为作者在这一系列的文章开篇提到他看到了3套采集人的标本，我们也正好寻迹找到了作者发表这个新种的3套标本（下图），也因此最初是将BRNM的标本选作lectotype。尽管最终我们是根据编辑的意见进行了修改，但我个人还是持保留意见，觉得编辑对于同一个gathering的定义过于严苛。

3、PPBC照片：去年底文章接受时，PPBC中地梢瓜的照片有2000张多一点。一年过去了，又增加了近500张照片，将一些错误鉴定的排除后，现在有2496张照片了。

图2. PPBC中原错误鉴定为地梢瓜的照片（现重新鉴定了）。前3张的重新鉴定，是因为网站系统默认与下面几张变色变前的照片是同一个批的，导致的重复鉴定。
