How did the history of Yumin Orchid Fritillaria come about

Director of Yumin County Fritillaria Experimental Station, the discoverer and researcher of the only orchid Fritillaria species in the Liliaceae family in the world. In the early 1980s, Duan Xianzhen's discovery attracted widespread attention from the Chinese plant community, researchers in the Liliaceae family, and the media& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; & nbsp; In 1953, Duan Xianzhen graduated from Shenyang Agricultural College. Soon, his fate was swept up in wave after wave of political movements, caused by his father, who had previously served as the head of the Central Agricultural Experiment Station in Manchukuo, being labeled as a counter revolutionary& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; & nbsp; In 1961, Duan Xianzhen, who had already resigned from public office, fled to Xinjiang with her parents, younger brother, and sister to avoid political movements and settled in the 6th Brigade of the suburban commune in Tacheng County. After Duan Xianzhen moved from Northeast China to Tacheng, her research on plants never stopped& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; In 1965, in order to avoid political movements, he suggested to the team leader at the time that he lead some people up the mountain to collect herbs and start a side job for the team. At that time, there was a shortage of Fritillaria in the country, so Duan Xianzhen decided to focus on digging Fritillaria. So, Duan Xianzhen spends at least three months each year, staying away from the vortex of stage struggles& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; During the process of collecting herbs, Duan Xianzhen discovered that Xinjiang is located at the intersection of the Eurasian continent, with a unique variety of flora and fauna. Especially in terms of plant species, they have both Eurasian and Oriental characteristics. So, in the field of lily family and Fritillaria genus, will there be new varieties that have not yet been discovered by humans& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; During this period, Xianzhen took advantage of her free time to go up the mountain to collect herbs and conducted a comparative experiment on artificial cultivation of Fritillaria in her own land. Meanwhile, research on various types of vegetables is still ongoing& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; & nbsp; In 1977, after returning from prison, Duan Xianzhen completely buried herself in various plant chronicles for a period of time. In spring, the Fritillaria in the self cultivated land miraculously bloomed two orchid Fritillaria, and what sets orchid Fritillaria apart from other Fritillaria is its pleasant fragrance& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; Duan Xianzhen realized the value of orchid Fritillaria. However, due to the fact that the Fritillaria in the self cultivated land is propagated through seeds, and the Fritillaria seeds come from areas such as Talbahatai Mountain, Sawuer Mountain, and Barruk Mountain around the Tacheng Basin, in order to determine the origin of the orchid Fritillaria, it is necessary to return to the old industry& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; However, Duan Xianzhen also had doubts in her heart. Could the orchid shell mother be a mutation phenomenon caused by artificial cultivation? Because apart from three years of prison life, since 1965, Duan Xianzhen has been going up the mountain every year to collect herbs according to the flowering and planting periods of Fritillaria. Why hasn't she seen wild orchid Fritillaria in ten years& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; & nbsp; In 1979, the medicinal gathering team led by Duan Xianzhen made a significant discovery in Kursai Gou, Baluk Mountain area, Yumin County. The large area of blooming blue flowers of Fritillaria displayed before Duan Xianzhen's eyes. Duan Xianzhen quickly collected more than 60 orchid shells, pressed them into specimens, and then arranged for the villagers to stay on the mountain to continue collecting herbs. I traveled day and night, rushing back to Tacheng& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; Duan Xianzhen has consulted books such as "Flora of China", "Flora of Xinjiang", "Flora of Europe", etc., but there is no record of orchid Fritillaria. Among them, the "Flora of the Soviet Union" also mentioned that from 1935 to 1958, Soviet botanist Popov conducted multiple investigations of lilies in Tacheng and determined that there were only five species of Fritillaria in the area& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; Duan Xianzhen has made a breakthrough in the study of orchid Fritillaria through comparative research. Orchid Fritillaria is the earliest flowering species in the Fritillaria genus in Xinjiang. This is also the main reason why Duan Xianzhen has been collecting herbs in the wild for many years, but has not recognized the orchid shell mother& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp;& nbsp; & nbsp; At the beginning of 1981, it was a turning point in Duan Xianzhen's life. His research achievements attracted the attention of the domestic botanical community. Soon after, his book "A New Species of Fritillaria" was published in the Chinese Academy of Sciences' "Journal of Plant Classification", causing a sensation, and orchid Fritillaria began to be widely recognized
