There are four vegetation types in the area, which are composed of seven groups and groups. There are 10 formations and 10 formations, especially the hard-leaved gravel formations, namely Quercus acutissima and Quercus wugang, which are unique in the hilly and mountainous areas with low altitude in the middle subtropical zone. Therefore, it has its special value in the study of plant geography. According to the preliminary investigation, there are 687 species of woody plants in 103 family, including torreya longifolia, Phoebe bournei, Phoebe chekiangensis, Cinnamomum camphora, Metasequoia glyptostroboides, Phaseolus vulgaris, Emmenoptera fragrans and other rare national protected tree species.
