Features: This volume includes 50 families, 263 genera, 719 species, 4 subspecies, 79 varieties, and 5 forms of vascular plants native to and commonly cultivated in Guangdong and Hainan. The book provides concise descriptions of the characteristics of each family and genus, along with detailed introductions to the morphology, distribution, habitat, and uses of each plant, accompanied by 298 illustrations. An index of Chinese and scientific names is included at the end of each section for easy reference. This flora is a valuable resource for researchers, educators, and professionals in biology, agriculture, forestry, horticulture, and medicine. (Since the first and second volumes of this flora were completed before Hainan became a province, plants native to Hainan are also included. To maintain the continuity of the flora, plants from Hainan will continue to be included in the subsequent volumes. This is specially noted.)
