| Wild Compositae resources and their diversity in Lishan National Nature Reserve were studied. The results show that
there are 78 species of wild Compositae plants belonging to 44 genera in the protected zone. Among them, the mono-species genera are at the most, but the plants of the oligo-species genera have the strongest superiority; the lifeform of perennial herb is taken as the dominant types. The geographical elements of the genera and species are of complex, and predominant with the temperate floristic elements (82.93% for genera and 93.24% for species). It is of imbalance in endemic of the genera and species of the wild Compositae plants in the protected zone. The economic use is diversity, and should pay attention to the comprehensive utilization of related resources. |
