To clarify the resources and diversity of vascular plants in the scenic spots of Huizhou West Lake, we conducted through field investigation and literature review. The species composition of vascular plants and the specific composition of their families, genera and species in the scenic spots of Huizhou West Lake was analyzed about the distribution area type, endangered species, medicinal plant and aquatic plant. The results show: (1) Huizhou West Lake scenic area has a total of 169 families of vascular plants in 650 genera and 1 061 species, of which the most abundant species of angiosperms have 145 families, 613 genera and 1 002 species, and families, genera and species accounted for 85.80%, 94.30%, 94.44%, respectively. 9 families of gymnosperm belonging to 20 genera and 36 species, families and genera and species of the total number 5.33%, 3.10%, 3.39%, respectively. 15 families of ferns belonging to 17 genera and 23 species, families and genera and species accounted for 8.88%, 2.60%, 2.17%, respectively. (2) The dominant families of plant resources are obvious in the scenic spots of Huizhou West Lake. There were 29 families containing 10 species or more than 10 species, a total of 653 species, accounting for 61.55% of the total species, including Compositae (63 species), gramineous times (60). There are 442 species of plants of single species and/or genera in the study area, indicating families that only one or a few species occupy the majority of vascular plants in the study area. (3) There are 154 families of seed plants in Huizhou West Lake scenic area, belong to 13 types of distribution area. The type of the pan tropical distribution area has 60 families, the highest proportion (55.56%), suggesting that the seed plants have obvious characteristics of the tropical flora, mainly tropical distribution. (4) There are 29 species of rare and endangered plants (among them 26 species of state protected plants), 702 species of medicinal plants and 150 species of aquatic plants in Huizhou West Lake scenic area. The research shows that there are abundant species and high diversity of vascular plants resources in Huizhou West Lake scenic area, so as to strengthen the protection and utilization of plant resources and the construction of ecological landscape.
