Abstract:

There are 21 wild plant species under state emphasized protection in Meizhou at present,belonging to 20 genus and 16 families,according to List of Wild Plants Under State Emphasized Protection(1999). Their life form,distribution characteristics and geographic region were analyzed. These results showed that most of these plants were tropical and subtropical types,and concentratively distributed in the Reserve. Human activities have disturbed the habitats of these plants and their protection should be strengthened. Moreover,values of these conservation plants were discussed and suggestions on protection measures were put forward. The paper provided basic materials for research and rationally utilization of conservation plant resources in Meizhou.

Key words: Meizhou, protected plants, distribution characters, protection measures
