Abstract:Abstract: In order to understanding the features of key protected plants, we processed the protected plant lists statistically and then analyzed their distribution, habitat, growth states, ornamental features and garden application. There were 139 species of key protected plants, included 76 species of Orchidaceae. There were 38 tree species occupying 808% of wood plants. The most diversity appeared in elevation of 1 000~1 500 m and its top appeared in 1 200 m. Enjoying flowers type, which occupied 56.0%, was the most. Results showed that 72.4% species grew well in local plant ex situ conservation case. Introduction from high attitude to low attitude was easier than from low to high. Shade plants and half shade plants occupied the main and a lots was suitable to the sun environment, which reflected the vegetation characteristics of north subtropical monsoon climate.
