The plant resources of Haizhu National Wetland Park were investigated using the method of
route survey. Totally, the results shown that plant resources of Haizhu National Park were abundant with 625
vascular plant species, belonging to130 families and 434 genera. Among them, there are 596 angiosperm species
belonging to 113 families, 414 genera and 10 gymnosperm species belonging to 6 families,9 genera,as well
as 19 pteridophytes species belonging to 11 families,11 genera. According to the types of living habitat, the
wetland park could be divided into wetland, garden and orchard habitats with 107 species, 362 species and 156
species recorded respectively, accounting for 17.12%, 57.92% and 24.96% of all plants. In additional, there were
268 native plants and 37 invasive plants recorded in Haizhu wetland, accounting for 42.88% and 5.92% of the
total plants respectively. Apart from that, endangered plants were counted 8 species totally which occupied 1.28%
of plant species. Based on the above investigation results, some suggestions were put forward. Firstly, in order to
increase species diversity, we should enhance appropriate human intervention in fruit forests; secondly, control
alien wetland plants invasion and make full use of native aquatic wild plant resources, as well as strengthen the
control of alien invasive plants and increase native plants cultivation.
