Abstract:Species composition, flora distribution, and growth status of resources of historical tree and famous tree in Hong Kong are analyzed by field investigation. The results show that there are 485 historical trees belonging to 78 species in 57 genera of 36 families in Hong Kong. The dominant families are Leguminosae,Euphorbiaceae and Myrtaceae, and the dominant species are Ficus microcarpa, F. elastica and Cinnamomum camphora. The distribution of historical tree resources has a strong tropical attribute. From the perspective of spatial distribution status, historical trees are widely distributed, but there are significant differences in the number of species and individuals among different regions. The results of Detruded Correspondence Analysis show that most of historical trees are located in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, which is significantly different from other areas. Based on investigation results,suggestions on protection of resources of historical tree and famous tree in Hong Kong are proposed, such as strengthening legislation and publicity education, conducting health assessment and rehabilitation technology research, and setting up special maintenance funds.
