Features: This book is the 21st volume of Flora of Yunnan. Flora of Yunnan is a specialized work documenting wild and commonly cultivated higher plants in Yunnan, divided into four major categories: bryophytes, ferns, gymnosperms, and seed plants. This volume records 18 families, 70 genera, 504 species, and 4 varieties of ferns. The book provides brief descriptions of the characteristics of families and genera, along with keys. Detailed records are included for each plant's name (Chinese official name, common names, Latin name, synonyms), morphology, distribution, habitat, and occurrence. For economically valuable plants, their uses are briefly introduced. Approximately half of the species are accompanied by morphological feature illustrations or full-plant images, with a total of 121 plates. This book is a reference for educators, researchers, and relevant institutions in the fields of botany, agriculture, forestry, horticulture, pharmacology, nature conservation, and sustainable plant resource utilization.
