Abstract:The proposed Nanling National Park is located in the northern part of Guangdong Province, in the middle southern of the Nanling Mountains, and is in subtropical monsoon climate zone. On the basis of collecting literature, historical data and supplementary field survey, the result shows that Nanling National Park has 5 105 species of higher plants belonging to 1 522 genus and 324 families, whose family, genus and species account for 67.6%, 39.4% and 14.3% of the country respectively, occupying a very important position in the country. Nanling National Park has 38 species of nationally protected wild plants, of which 5 are Grade I (including the Isoetes sinensis, Cycas taitungensis , Taxus wallichiana var. mairei, Bretschneidera sinensis and Brasenia schreberi), Grade II protection of 33 species. There are 12 species of key protection plants in Guangdong Province, accounting for 60.0% of the total 20 species in Guangdong. Endemic plants are also quite rich, in recent years published more than 20 new species are almost endemic to the park. Because of climate and geographical factors, Nanling National Park has rich and unique plant diversity, which embodies important ecological value. Protecting this natural ecosystem is very important for inheriting and preserving a large number of genetic resources, and maintaining the ecological security of northern Guangdong and even Lingnan areas.
