Recently, the reporter learned from the Institute of Northwest Plateau Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, during the investigation of plant diversity and Tibetan medicine resources this year, the scientific research team of the Institute has found a new distribution form of Delphinium, which is a spectacular white Turquoise Flower Albocoeruleum) is distributed in the alpine desert area of Delingha, Haixi Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, with an average altitude of 4300 meters and an area of about 5000 hectares. The discovery of large-scale Delphinium repens community is of great significance for the study of the community evolution and growth and decline of this species, the development and utilization of Tibetan medicinal resources and even the development of ecosystem in Alpine desert areas.
The flower is distributed in Northwest Sichuan, Northeast Tibet, Eastern Qinghai and Gansu. The whole herb can be used for medicine and can treat enteritis. Zhou Yubi, an associate researcher at the Institute of Northwest Plateau, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told SciTech daily that in the course of this year's investigation on plant diversity and Tibetan medicine resources in late August this year, the research group discovered a new community of Delphinium alba. "The white turquoise is a cold tolerant plant. It grows in the biological environment of wet meadow. It likes cold and humid climate, and is not resistant to hot and high temperature in summer. It is often scattered in alpine meadows or forests at an altitude of 3600m to 4700m. It was also sporadically distributed in Qinghai before. However, such a large-scale growth in Alpine desert area is indeed the first discovery. This is one of the indications for the gradual improvement of Qinghai's ecological environment. " Zhou said.
At the same time, he said that the white bluefinch has a long flowering period and blooms for about a month every year. According to the records of Tibetan medicine, the white bluefinch flower is one of the basic plants of the important Tibetan medicine "Zhuo Mu Sa". Therefore, the discovery of the community with the white Turquoise as the constructive species breaks the previous understanding of the species distribution form, which is of great significance to the study of the formation, evolution and growth and decline of the species community, and even the development of the ecosystem in the alpine desert area, and also increases the landscape richness and tourism value of the region.
