Abstract:Abstracts:The newly introduced resources of Catalpa in Jianghan Plain in recent 3 years were presented in this paper. There were totally 692 different Catalpa resources,in which 489 germplasms were collected in resource conservation forest and 203 different clones were contained in various variety tests. A ccording to the early representation of Catalparesources,Catalpa fargesii f. duclouxii in the Jianghan Plain that located in the subtropical zone was with better value of breeding and popularization than Catalpa which adapted to temperate zone.The introduction of these germplasms of Catalpawould not only increase the ecological stability of the Jianghan Plain and enrich the tree species of industrial raw material forest in Hubei Province, but also provide a good foundation for further options of new varieties of Catalpa in Jianghan Plain.
