The Chinese flora, with an estimated 31,500 species,is ofimmense scientific and horticultural importance. Noteworthy, too,is Chinese traditional medicine, which is based on the remarkable plant resources of the country. Descriptions andidentification keys for this diverse flora, until now unavailable in English, have been published over the past 18 years in the Flora of China,in conjunction with a separate series, the Flora of China Illustrations.Thirty-eight of the total of 48 text and illustration volumes have already been published, thanks to an unprecedented and long-startding collaboration between Western and Chinese scientists. This is the largest single volume of the Flora of China, with more than 2,000 species described in 22 families. Among these, the Acanthaceae include the large genus Strobilanthes 028 species); the Adoxaceae include the horticulturallyimportant genus Viburnum; the Berberidaceae include the popular garden plants Epiinedium as well as Berberis (barberry) and Mahonia; the Campanulaceae (bellflower fanuly) include Campanula, Codonopsis, Cyananthus, and LobElia; the Caprifoliaceae include Lonicera (honeysuckle) and Leycesteria (Himalayan honeysuckle); the Cucurbitaceae:include various cultivated fruits and vegetables as well as many native species; the Lentibulariaceae include the carnivorous Pinguicula (butterwort) and Utricularia (bladder-wort); finally, the Rubiaceae is the largest family in this volume, with some 700 species,including species-rich genera such as Galium (bedstraw), Hedyotis, and Ophiorrhiza, as well as the Chineseendemic ornamental tree Emmenopterys henryi.
