In the long process of earth's climate evolution, many plants have been extinct in the long river of history, and some have survived to this day, becoming very precious ancient relict plants. In addition to the large population, the continent is also very rich in animal and plant species, especially plants. Which of these plants are endemic to the continent? Check out with Sbike Encyclopedia! (Top)
Money Pine
Pinus chinensis: One of the precious ornamental trees unique to the mainland, together with Araucaria, Cedar, Golden Pine and North American Sequoia, it is known as the world's top five park tree species. You can also choose plants of different thickness, fine, height and dwarf to make a jungle-style bonsai, pay attention to the main and secondary, high and low density, and then match the mountain and stone characters, which can fully reflect the fresh and vulgar natural forest landscape.
Due to climate change, the money pine around the world is gradually extinct. Only a few areas in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River on the mainland have survived.
Metasequoia
Metasequoia: A rare plant endemic to the mainland, known as a living fossil. A good autumn leaf ornamental tree species, suitable for planting in the garden, can also be planted in clusters, patches, can be used for embankment, lakeside, poolside, courtyard and other greening, can also be potted, can also be planted in front of buildings or used as street trees. It is a mainland Class 1 protected wild plant. Earth's metasequoia plants are almost completely extinct.
Originating from the Mesozoic Cretaceous and Cenozoic eras, the genus Metasequoia was thought to have long been extinct until it was first discovered in 1941 in Sichuan, China. It is a beautiful tree and is a good ornamental tree.
Lookout Tree

Baishan Zu fir
Baishan Zu fir: an ancient remnant plant unique to the mainland, the only rare plant of the genus of fir that has survived in the mainland, and one of the world's top ten rare plants, which has important academic significance for the study of flora and climate change. Mainland Class 1 key protected wild plants. In 2010, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species listed it as critically endangered.
