摘　　要：蜜距将花蜜隐藏在距的深处,多样的蜜距形态和长度吸引各种喙长的传粉动物访花,促进传粉生态位形成,这对造就物种多样性起到了重要作用。因此蜜距被认为是促进物种形成的关键创新性状,是研究被子植物花部结构演化、植物-传粉者协同进化的理想材料。系统地总结蜜距植物及其形态特征和传粉/盗蜜者,有助于全面了解这一性状在被子植物中的系统发育分布和进化生态学意义。该文对国内外植物分类数据库(检索词“距”或“spur”)和已发表文章(检索词“有距植物属中文名+传粉”或“属拉丁名+pollinator/nectar robber”)进行系统的梳理和总结,收集蜜距植物、距长、蜜距形态、传粉者、盗蜜者等信息。整理出具有蜜距的植物分布在被子植物13个目23个科271个属,共计3427种。其中蜜距植物种数最多的科为兰科(1536种)、罂粟科(487种)、毛茛科(351种)、凤仙花科(284种)、堇菜科(197种),它们占所有蜜距植物种数的83.3%。根据蜜距的发育来源,蜜距可分为6种类型:花被片蜜距、花瓣蜜距、萼片蜜距、被丝托蜜距、花萼蜜距和花冠蜜距。花瓣蜜距分布于212个属,显著高于其他类型。对2546种植物的蜜距长度分析发现:凤仙花科的蜜距平均长度最长,达23.8 mm;千屈菜科的蜜距最短,平均仅1.6mm。形态上,大部分蜜距具有不同程度的弯曲,这可能有助于筛选合适的传粉者,提高访花者的传粉效率;单花蜜距数量有1–6个,大部分为1个,多个蜜距可能增加传粉者的访花时间;部分兰科和堇菜科植物蜜距内部具有可能分泌花蜜的附属物。蜜距植物的传粉者主要为膜翅目、鳞翅目、部分长喙双翅目昆虫及鸟类;盗蜜者主要为膜翅目昆虫。蜜距的长度和传粉者的喙长普遍存在地理镶嵌的协同进化关系,进化生态学家提出了“达尔文机械模型”的假说来解释这种现象;而当传粉者喙长不变,�For many plants,nectar is hidden in the depth of nectar spurs.The diverse morphology and length of nectar spurs can attract pollinators with various proboscis lengths and promote the differentiation of pollination niche,which plays an important role in the formation of species diversity.Therefore,nectar spur is considered as a key innovation trait in promoting speciation and an ideal trait for studying floral evolution and plant-pollinator coevolution in angiosperm.This review systematically summarizes the worldwide plant taxonomic databases and published articles,classifies the nectar spur plants,and reviews the diversity and evolutionary mechanisms of nectar spur plants.We investigated 3427 nectar spur species belonging to 13 orders,23 families and 271 genera of angiosperm.Among them,Orchidaceae has the largest number of species,with 1536 species,following by Papaveraceae with 487 species,Ranunculaceae with 351 species,Balsaminaceae with 284 species and Violaceae with 197 species,accounting for 83.3%of all the species.According to the sources of the development of nectar spurs,the nectar spurs can be divided into six types:petal spur,corolla spur,sepal spur,calyx spur,tepal spur and hypanthium spur.The petal spurs are the predominant type,detected in 212 genera.The average length of nectar spurs in Balsaminaceae is the longest(23.8 mm)among the 2546 species whose nectar spurs have been measured.The shortest nectar spurs are reported in Lycelandaceae,which are only 1.6 mm on average.Most nectar spurs have different degrees of curvature,likely helping to improve the pollination efficiency.The number of nectar spur(s)in a flower ranges from 1 to 6,and most species have only one nectar spur in a flower.Multiple nectar spurs may increase the visiting time of pollinators.Some plants in Orchidaceae and Violaceae have appendages inside the nectar spurs,which may have the function of nectar secretion.The pollinators of plants with nectar spur mainly comprise insects from Hymenoptera,Lepidoptera,and some long-proboscis s
