With warm climate and plentiful rain, bamboo is exuberant in this reserve. Through the field investigation of the bamboo germplasm resource in the reserve, 88 specimens of the genus have been collected, which belong to 10 genera and 38 species (including form and cultivar). Among these 10 genera, Bambusa had 12 species, the next was Phyllostachys which had 8 species (including form and cultivar), in addition, Arundinaria nuspicula was the new geographical distribution in Guangdong Province. The floristic characteristics of the reserve were the richness of species, the multiformity of the type, the complexity of the geographical distribution and the obvious transition.
