The vegetation types included evergreen broad-leaved shrub、lower subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest and tropical sand vegetation. The checklist of Ninepin Group plants was reported for the first time, and the characteristic of plant diversity in each island was discussed, the floristics characteristics of the Ninepin Group were also compared with the neighbouring regions, all of these provided some basic references for studying on the flora of Hong Kong.
