Supplementary description to the original one, with the pistillate capitula, pistillate flower and achenes described for the first time.: Pistillate capitula singly axillary; peduncle robust, ca. 1 mm long, glabrous; receptacle either rectangular, ca. 2 mm×1.6 mm, or subquadrate, ca. 1.8 mm×1.8 mm, glabrous, deeply 2-lobed; involucral bracts ca. 21, 2-seriate, membranous, inner bract 1, semi-orbicular, ca. 0.5 mm×0.8 mm, subglabrous, outer bracts ca. 20, above dark-green, below whitish, triangular or narrowly ovate, rarely deltoid, 0.6 mm-0.8 mm×0.3 mm-0.7 mm, densely puberulous; bracteoles numerous, dense, membranous, below whitish, above brown and long ciliate, linear, 0.6 mm-1 mm×0.1 mm-0.2 mm. Pistillate flower: Pedicel robust, 0.5 mm-0.7 mm long, glabrous; tepals wanting; ovary obovoid, ca. 0.4 mm long, glabrous; stigma penicillate, ca. 0.1 mm long. Achenes whitish, ellipsoidal, ca. 0.55 mm×0.35 mm, longitudinally 6-ribbed.

地理分布：特產(chǎn)云南西部。

標(biāo)本登錄：云南(Yunnan)：保山市，芒寬鄉(xiāng)，百花嶺(Baoshan Shi,Mangkuan Xiang,Baihualing),alt.1 517 m,2012-07-23,劉杰，羅亞皇，譚少林(J.Liu,Y.H.Luo & S.L.Tan)GLGE 12246(♀,KUN.PE);同地(same locality),alt.2 426 m,2013-03-21,劉杰，羅亞皇，劉學(xué)文，楊志光，洪和斌，整飄其(J.Liu,Y.H.Luo,X.W.Liu,Z.G.Yang,H.B.Hong & P.Q.Zheng)GLGE 13623(♂,KUN,PE).

本種的二號(hào)模式標(biāo)本均為具雄聚傘花序的雄株，因此在原始形態(tài)描述中缺少雌花序、雌花和果實(shí)的描述。昆明植物研究所劉杰博士于2012年在云南保山市芒寬鄉(xiāng)山區(qū)采集到本種的雌株標(biāo)本，這才能在本文中寫出上述器官的補(bǔ)充描述。本種的雌花序具花序托和總苞，是典型的有限頭狀花序(determinate capitulum)[1](圖1B)，這種構(gòu)造復(fù)雜的花序與本種雄株具有的2～4回分枝的雄聚傘花序[2]截然不同。更值得注意的是雌花，本種的雌花發(fā)生了強(qiáng)烈退化，花被片全部消失，只剩下一個(gè)單獨(dú)的雌蕊(圖1C)，這與本種具5枚橢圓形花被片和5枚雄蕊的雄花[2]又是截然不同。同一種的雄、雌花序和雄、雌花的構(gòu)造出現(xiàn)如此巨大的區(qū)別，是被子植物中的一個(gè)罕見現(xiàn)象。本種的葉具半離基三出脈，說明本種是樓梯草屬原始群疏傘樓梯草組(Sect.Pellionioides)的原始種之一。本種和疏傘樓梯草組另一原始種疏傘樓梯草(E.laxicymosumW.T.Wang)的果實(shí)均具縱肋，均屬于樓梯草屬所獨(dú)有的具肋瘦果(ribbed achene)類型(蕁麻科其他所有屬均無這種類型的瘦果)，這個(gè)事實(shí)支持了筆者在2014年提出的一個(gè)關(guān)于具肋瘦果的論斷，即具縱肋類型的瘦果在樓梯草屬自冷水花屬演化而出之后不久就很快出現(xiàn)了[2]。

本變種的原始描述非常簡(jiǎn)略，只給出了葉的描述[3]，因此，在本文中根據(jù)上列采自西藏樟木的雌株標(biāo)本寫出了本變種營(yíng)養(yǎng)和生殖器官的形態(tài)描述。
