Abstract:There were 514 species of seed plants belonging to 273 genera and 101 families in Jinzhongshan Nature Reserve. The deciduous oak forest was most widely spread. Four vegetation zones occurred along elevation, viz. deciduous broad-leaved forest, evergreen broad-leaved forest in the valley, mixed evergreendeciduous broad-leaved forest and deciduous broad-leaved forest, mossy dwarf shrub on mountainous tops and evergreen broad-leaved forest in the hilly land. Tropic was dominant accounting for 75.21% of the flora elements including cosmopolitan, temperate and endemic to China. The nature vegetation in Jinzhongshan Nature Reserve was divided into 5 vegetation type groups, 7 vegetation types (warm temperate conifer forest, warm temperate broad-leaved forest, mixed evergreen-deciduous broad-leaved forest, evergreen broad-leaved forest, bamboo forest and grass), 2 vegetation subtypes (South Asia tropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in the hilly land and broadleaved dwarf forest on mountainous tops) and 33 formations.
