Abstract:In order to reveal the floristic characteristics of plantws in Wuhuang Mountain area in southern Guangxi, the plant resources of Wuhuang Mountain National Geopark and its adjacent areas in Guangxi were studied through field investigation and literatures. The results showed that there were 1 002 species of wild plants in Wuhuang mountain area, belonging to 167 families and 581 genera, including 73 species of ferns in 20 families and 37 genera, 5 species of gymnosperms in 3 families and 4 genera, and 924 species of angiosperms in 144 families and 540 genera. Angiosperms were dominant. The geographical elements at family and genus levels were mainly tropical, and the genus was more tropical, in which the pantropical component was the most dominant, and the temperate component was mainly north temperate. There were 4 genera endemic to China and no endemic family to China. So, the flora of this area was characterized by high species richness, strong tropical and weak endemism.
