Abstract:

Objective: This study aims to comprehensively assess the diversity and conservation status of vascular plants in Cangshan

mountain. Methods: The abundance and population size of rare and endangered plant species in Cangshan mountain were assessed through a combination of historical document analysis, specimen record examination, field investigations for the analysis of the angiosperm flora. Results: A total of 3 246 plant species (including 49 subspecies, 227 varieties, and 2 variants)were documented in Cangshan mountain of Dali, belonging to 208 families and 996 genera. There are 360 fern species belonging to 36 families and 89 genera (including 9 varieties), 20 gymnosperm species belonging to 8 families and 14 genera (including 4 varieties), and 2 866 angiosperm species belonging to 164 families and 893 genera (including 49 subspecies, 214 varieties, and 2 variants). Among them, there are 62 species of nationally protected wild plants, 6 species of Yunnan Province′s key protected wild plants, and 2 species of extremely small population protection objects. Conclusion: Cangshan mountain exhibits high vascular plant diversity and is home to numerous model and rare plant species. However, the number of endemic plants is relatively low.

Key words: Cangshan mountain of Dali, vascular plants, rare and endangered plants, nationally protected wild plants, floristic study
