结果整理出270份标本，已鉴定菝葜属16个种和2个变种，其中3个为新记录品种；

Results Reorganized 270 specimens , appraises 16 types and 2 varieties , including 3 newly recorded species .

菝葜属植物我国产60多种，目前从该属植物中已经分离出来的单体多集中在甾体皂苷，且部分具有较好的生物活性。

There are more than 60 species of Smilax in China . Many steroidal saponins separated from the genus and some of them show certain biological activities till now .

在分子树上，它是处于菝葜属内基部的一个类群，与其它类群（包括部分单伞花序的种及大部分圆锥花序的种）是平行起源的。

The molecular trees show the species is a basal group in Smilax phylogenetic tree , and is of a parallel origin with other groups : some species with single umbel and most species with raceme of umbels .
