最近,中国科学院昆明植物研究所科研人员在对鼠尾草属(Salvia L.)进行研究的过程中,确认了一种近年来在昆明附近有迅速蔓延趋势的外来鼠尾草——椴叶鼠尾草(Salvia tiliifolia Vah)l。该种鼠尾草此前在我国曾被报道为宾鼠尾草或杜氏鼠尾草(Salvia dugesii Fernald)。椴叶鼠尾草是一种原产中美洲的杂草,已入侵到墨西哥、美国、埃塞俄比亚、南非和澳大利亚等地,并对当地生态环境造成了不同程度的影响。研究人员详细调查了椴叶鼠尾草在中国的分布,并推断该种可能于20世纪90年代初伴随着花卉引种首先进入昆明,然后迅速向昆明周边地区扩散,目 Recently, during a study on Salvia L., researchers at Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, confirmed that a species of alien sage - Tilia amurensis that has been rapidly spreading near Kunming in recent years, Salvia tiliifolia Vah l. This kind of sage had previously been reported as Salvia dugesii Fernald in our country. Tilia amurensis is a native Mesoamerica weed that has invaded Mexico, the United States, Ethiopia, South Africa and Australia and other places, and caused varying degrees of impact on the local ecological environment. Researchers examined in detail the distribution of Linden sage in China and concluded that the species was probably first introduced into Kunming in the early 1990s with the introduction of flowers and then spread rapidly to the area around Kunming
