A new species and a new record of smut fungi from northwestern China
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A new species, Thecaphora oxytropis on Oxytropis ochrocephala, and a new record, Urocystis irregularis on a new host plant, Aconitum carmichaelii, are reported from Northwestern China. Key words-Ustilaginales, taxonomyDuring a mycological expedition to Tianzhu County of Gansu Province in Northwestern China in 2005, several interesting smut fungi were collected.Among them the authors identified a previously unknown species of Thecaphora on Oxytropis ochrocephala.According to Vanky (1991), eleven species of Thecaphora have been reported on Leguminosae world wide.None of them is on Oxytropis.The authors compared the spore balls of the unknown Thecaphora sp. with those of other known species of Thecaphora on Leguminosae.Because no smut fungus known on Leguminosae has spore balls similar to those found on Oxytropis ochrocephala, we conclude that Thecaphora sp. on Oxytropis is a new species, and describe it as follows:
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
