Is it a rare plant or an ornamental plant? Is lotus a cash crop?

It is known as "plant living fossil", is a treasure among the eight national first-class key protected plants, and is a rare and precious ornamental plant unique to our country, so it is both a rare plant and an ornamental plant.

It is said to be a rare plant because:

It is a relict plant left in the Tertiary of the Cenozoic Era 10 million years ago, in the Quaternary glacial period, most of the areas of the dove tree have been extinct, only in some areas of southern China survived, becoming the "living fossil" of the plant kingdom today.

It is said to be an ornamental plant because:

First, the branches and leaves of the dove tree are luxuriant, the leaves are as big as mulberries, and the flowers are shaped like pigeons spreading their wings. The large white bracts resemble the wings of a pigeon, the dark red head inflorescence resembles the head of a pigeon, and the greenish-yellow stigma resembles the beak of a pigeon.

Second, in China, the dove tree is widely distributed. Wangjia Town, the "hometown of the dove tree", has a large number of dove trees in the country. Others are distributed in Zhenping and Langao in the southeast of Shaanxi, Shennongjia, Xingshan, Badong, Changyang, Lichuan, Enshi, Hefeng, Wufeng in the west of Hubei, Sangzhi, Dayong, Cili, Shimen and Yongshun in the northwest of Hunan, Songtao, Fanjingshan, Daozhen, Suiyang, Bijie and Nayong in the northeast of Guizhou, Wushan in the east of Sichuan, Nanchuan in the southeast, Pingwu and Qingchuan in the north, Wenchuan, Guanxian, Pengxian, Baoxing, Tianquan, Emei, Mabian, Ebian, Meigu, Leibo, Yunlian in the northeast of Yunnan, Yongshan, Daguan, Yiliang, Weixin, Zhenxiong, Zhaotong and other places.

It is often mixed in broad-leaved forests at an altitude of 1250-2200 meters, with occasional small pure forests. In recent years, a huge number of dove trees have also been found in Yingjing County, Sichuan Province, amounting to 100,000 acres. At the altitude of 700 meters above sea level in Tianping Mountain, Sangzhi County, thousands of acres of pure dove forest have also been found, which is the most concentrated place of dove tung found at present.

Since 1869, when it was discovered in Muping, Sichuan, it has been introduced by various countries, so that it has become a precious ornamental tree species loved by people from all over the world. It was first discovered by the French missionary Father David as a Westerner and named the Latin species, and Father David was also the person who named the Latin species for the elk.

It is the only seedling in the genus Dove tree, and it is in the same family as the campy tree, which can refine anti-cancer drugs. The reason why it is precious is that it is a plant"Living fossils"One.

As early as 1 million years ago, the dove tree also spread all over the world. The advent of the Quaternary Ice Age has wiped out the vast majority of the dove trees, and only a small piece of natural forest has survived in the mountainous areas of Guizhou Province, Shennongjia Mountain, and Emei Mountain in Sichuan, which have survived to this day. Most of them grow in mountainous terrain at 1200-2500 meters, and some trees that are more than 100 years old are up to 30 meters tall and more than 1 meter in diameter.

In order to protect this rare national treasure, the state has listed the dove tree as a first-class protected plant and established a special nature reserve.

At present, the artificial cultivation technology is mature and complete.

It is a world-famous rare ornamental tree. It is often planted near pools, streams, sanatoriums, hotels, and exhibition halls, and has a symbolic meaning of peace. The material is heavy, and it is the best material for construction, which can be used to make furniture and carving materials.

Growing environment

It prefers to grow in a cool, humid, rainy and foggy mountain environment. In the pre-10-year-old stage, young trees prefer a more shaded environment, but when they reach middle age, their demand for light increases, and their growth is inhibited if they are not satisfied. In the place of origin, the dove tree generally blooms about 20 years old, enters the full fruiting period when it is 25-30 years old, and bears a large number of fruits when it is 40-100 years old, and the trees that are hundreds of years old can still flower and bear fruit normally, which is a typical long-lived tree species.

At the beginning of flowering, the two bracts stand upright and upward, light green, as the bracts continue to grow and the seeds are formed, the peduncle can not bear the weight of the bracts and seeds, and is bent, the bracts and seeds droop one after another, and the bracts are white.
