Abstract: A total of 181 species(including subspecies and varieties),82 genera and 31 families of wild vines were reported from Longwangshan National Nature Reserve,Zhejiang Province.Among them,38 species were herby vine(21.0% of the total) and the others were woody vine(79.0%).According to their climbing habits,vines in this area were classified into 4 types,(I.e.) twining vines(45.9% of the total),adhering vines(7.2%),curling vines(17.1%) and hooking vines(29.8%). A statistic result indicated that in this area there were 6 preponderant vine families(≥10 species) consisting of Ranunculaceae,Rosaceae,Leguminosae,Celastraceae,Vitaceae,Rubiaceae,and eight dominant vine genera(≥5 species) including Rubus,Clematis,Smilax,Rosa,Actinidia,Vicia,Vitis,Cynanchum.Potential utilization values of those wild vines for urban vertical greening were discussed in this paper.
