河南嵩山是著名的国家级森林公园和驰名世界的地质公园,总面积450km^2,属河南暖温带和北亚热带过渡区。受地形、气候、土壤等自然条件的综合影响,森林植物资源十分丰富,植物区系地理成分复杂多样。自20世纪50年代至今,省内不少研究者对嵩山植被进行了不同程度的调查研究(丁宝章等,1988a;1998b;王遂义,1994;叶永忠等,1993),为深入研究嵩山植物区系的基本特征奠定了良好的基础。但目前尚未见嵩山森林木本植物区系的研究报道。因此,本文在参考前人成果的基础上(董东平等,2007;董东平,2008;王遂义等,1990;
Songshan Mountain is located in the middle part of Henan Province, China (34°02'--34°42' N, 112°32' -113°40' E), and the climate is warm temperate zone. It was found that is Songshan Mountain, there were 393 species of woody plants belonged to 152 genera and 60 families. Based on their geographical distribution pattern, the 152 genera were classified into 13 types, among which temperate and tropical plants accounted for 67.57% and 28.38%, respectively. Moreover, the floristic elements pattern showed that the temperate floristic elements were predominant in Songshan Mountain, according to the characteristics of genera and species. It had an extensive linkage to the temperate and tropic zone of each continent at the level of genera, while it had a close relation to the East Asia-Japan zone at the level of species. Furthermore, it also had high correlation with the North China flora zone at the level of endemic species. In the whole, the woody plants zone in Songshan Mountain was originated old age and contained 13 monotypic, 8 rare and endangered species. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the woody plants in Songshan Mountain.
