Features: This book collects 116 woody rare and endangered plants native to Guangxi, announced in 1984 and 1987; 21 rare and protected tree species listed by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Environmental Protection Committee and the former Forestry Ministry; 29 rare and endangered tree species introduced from outside Guangxi and 5 famous valuable tree species introduced from abroad, totaling 171 species. Among the rare and endangered woody plants native to Guangxi, there are 137 species, second only to Yunnan in China in terms of quantity, ranking second nationally, demonstrating Guangxi's superior natural ecological environment and extremely rich biodiversity. The book provides detailed descriptions of the morphological characteristics, conservation status, and economic value of each species, holding significant value for maintaining species diversity, preserving ecological balance, and promoting the utilization of rare tree species. Additionally, it discusses the distribution, ecological characteristics, conservation measures, and propagation techniques of each species. For easy identification, most tree species are accompanied by color photographs at the end of the book, and each species is illustrated with fine line drawings within the text, making it a highly practical scientific monograph.
This book collects 116 woody rare and endangered plants native to Guangxi, announced in the List of Rare and Endangered Plants by the State Council Environmental Protection Committee in 1984 and the List of Rare and Endangered Plants in China published in 1987; 21 rare and protected tree species not listed in the aforementioned two lists but designated by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Environmental Protection Committee and the former Forestry Ministry, totaling 137 species; 29 rare and endangered tree species introduced from outside Guangxi and 5 famous valuable tree species introduced from abroad, totaling 171 species.
