用扫描电镜和光学显微镜对竹属( Schiz ostachyum Nees) 7 个种, 及其近缘的梨竹属( Melocanna
Trin. ) 、泡竹属( Pseudostachyum Munro) 、薄竹属( Leptocanna Chia et H. L. Fung) 各1 个种以及空竹属
( Cephalostachyum Munro) 6 个种的叶表皮微形态特征进行了观察。结果表明竹叶下表皮乳突的形状和在气
孔器上及周围的排列式样在这5 个属中各有不同, 具有重要的分类学和系统学价值。同时我们的结果不支
持广义的竹属; 而梨竹属、空竹属和泡竹属则被支持独立成属。另外, 薄竹( Leptocanna chinensis) 和
红毛竹( Schiz ostachyum sanguineum ) 的叶表皮微形态特征非常接近空竹属; 香糯竹( Cep halostachyum
pergracile) 和金毛空竹( C1 virgatum) 的叶表皮微形态特征则十分接近竹属。
Ethnobotanical study of plants revealed that the local community of Ghalegy, District Swat, invariably uses 126
species of 59 families for various purposes. Based on their traditional local uses, fifty- seven species ( 4512%) were classified
as medicinal, forty-seven as fire wood ( 3713%) , forty- five as forage ( 3517%) , twenty- eight as honey bee species
( 2212%) , twenty- seven as vegetable species ( 2114%) , 25 as edible fruits ( 14 wild and 11cultivated) , thirteen as timber
wood ( 1013%) , twelve as ornamental ( 91 5%) , eleven as furniture wood, ten as shelter and thatch makers
( 719%) , ten as fencing ( 719%) , five as poisonous ( 4%) , four as religiousPsuperstitious species, three species used
in making hand sticks and wooden tools ( 21 4%) , three as utensil cleaner species ( 214%) , three as evil repellent and
one as fish poisoning species. The area is in plant resources and traditional knowledge but it needs ecological management
for its sustainability.
