  Largest flower
  The world's largest flower is growing in Indonesia and Malaysia to sub-tropical rainforest in the Rafflesia, the original name of Raffles • Arnold Corti flowers, 1.5 m in diameter, 5 petals average thickness of 1.4 cm. It has no roots, no stems, no leaves, parasitic on other plants; to distribute rancid smell to attract flies for its pollination; its seeds is very small, difficult to see the naked eye, with the sticky seeds. Rafflesia traditional folk medicine as Malaysia, can help mothers natural childbirth, treatment of asthma and hemorrhoids.
  The largest inflorescence of plants
  In plants, the yield on India's larger hands palm inflorescence should be the greatest. This slow-growing palm palm than the other 30 long years to 40 years to 20 meters high. This time its the top of the cone-shaped inflorescence bears flowers of a very large, inflorescence up to 14 meters, the number of inflorescence growth of more than 700,000 flowers, the base diameter of 12 meters, from afar like a huge pile of rice. The inflorescence of large, ranked first in the plant kingdom.
  The most hardy plants of vitality
  Most tenacious vitality should be the lichens of the species, according to tests, it can endure high temperature of 70 degrees Celsius and not death, in the low temperature of minus 273 degrees Celsius can grow, even in vacuum for 6 years still maintain its vitality. It is tough living in the growth of many plants are not environment, very widespread, desert, Arctic, Antarctic, and even the back of sea turtles can find traces of it, lichens are therefore known as the vegetable kingdom's "pioneering vanguard."
  Medicinal tree of the thickest
  Baobab tree, also known as Bo Babu, growth in eastern Africa on the vast savannah. This tree bark, leaves, fruits are available for medicinal purposes. And other medicinal plants is different, the monkey bread tree, eye-popping figure: it is unusually thick trunk, with an average diameter of already more than 10 m, the thick base of a tree trunk as high as 16 meters in diameter and 30 adult hands Wanshou to around the week. It is currently the world's crude medicinal trees, known as the "king of herbs."
  The most ferocious plants
  Carnivorous plants to the world, about 500 species, but only to the vast majority of small insects. Growth lay the island of Java in Indonesia is the world's Park most ferocious plant, it can be mercilessly put people to eat. Branches of this tree grows a soft, people once accidentally touched the branches, they soon gathered around the man Juan Zhu, and the more volume and more tightly until people can not get out. Dian Parkinson then secretes a kind of "digestion", which will slowly digest. Dian Parkinson Although fierce, but the juice is a valuable medicine material, so people will still collect it. However, in order to prevent the imprisoned, feed the fish that people would use pre-laying Park, it will not have to feed the dangerous.
  The most sensitive plants that
  Mimosa is a very sensitive plant, a slight touch of fingers will close it quickly leaves. But this is not the feeling of the most sensitive plants. Darwin has done such an experiment: a 11 mm long thin hair, on the carnivorous plant sundew leaves, and leaves the hair can escape immediately felt. Someone 0.000003 mg of ammonium carbonate, drop in the sundew hairs, so that small weight, it actually can be immediately felt. In contrast, sundew to fare better than mimosa, one chip, is the world's most sensitive plant was feeling.
  The shortest tree
  The world's shortest tree is grown in the alpine tundra of the dwarf willow. It's height is only 3 cm to 5 cm. Almond and eucalyptus in the world compared to most, one high and one low correlation of 1.5 times. The dwarf willow dwarf, amazing. General creeping stems of this plant on the ground, the germination pumping like willow branches grow after the same inflorescence, but although the same as willow, but the height difference is too much. The reason why dwarf willow dwarf, is not primarily constrained by harsh climatic conditions, dwarf willow grows in the alpine zone, where the temperature is very low, thin air, strong winds, direct sunlight, the plant body to be short, to adapt to this environment.
  Distribution of fossil trees in the highest
  Found in the northern slope of the peak areas Xixiabama fossil leaves of Quercus, is by far the highest distribution of fossil trees. It grows in the crevice, in the height of 5900 meters above sea level, where the extremely bad weather. And the existing mountain altitude compared to oak, drop of 3,000 meters. Through qualitative research after scientists proved: the Himalayan region was a vast ocean. In about 4000 million years ago to 7000 million years ago, the sea receded, there has been land. Later, with the movement, the land rising to form the Himalayas today. 150 million years, the Himalayas rising by about 3,000 meters. Quercus leaf fossils, which can be used as historical evidence.
  The results of the most peculiar habits
  Land plants, the peanut is the most peculiar result of habit, because almost all of the other plants flowering on the ground, the results of the ground, only peanut blossom on the ground floor is the result. Peanut seedling, after nearly a month or so, they begin to blossom. Fourth day after flowering, the ovary stalk elongation, which started growing under the soil, soil under the final and complete decline. About another 50 days, peanut fruit to mature. According to the determination of peanut in the soil is under way by the results of the characteristics of HI caused by the dark, that once the middle of the developing fruit met with a small sun, we will not normally grow. This odd temper, in the colorful plant kingdom is also very alternative.
  The most fiery temper fruit plants
  Countries with the largest varieties of food plants
  Flowering plants in China, about 3 million. Which can directly or indirectly for human food, clothing, housing, the type used most in the world, because the order is to eat up to 2,000 kinds of plants. Which, in addition to growing crops, many of Wild's oil, starch, sugar crops and fruits, vegetables, etc., too numerous to mention. By contrast, Europe and America add up to only 1,000 kinds of edible plants, therefore, China is the country with the largest varieties of edible plants.
  Most water plants
  Plateau of Brazil in South America, grows a tall, unique shape of trees, it is now the champion water plant kingdom: This is the spindle tree. It has more than 30 meters tall, thin trunks between two thick, place the thickest diameter of up to 5 meters, which makes it much stuck in the ground looked like a giant spindle. Spindle tree trunk can store more than two tons of water, at the local, if per capita consumption of 3 kg of water per day to calculate, cut a spindle tree, a family of four almost drink for six months. There has been no more water than this plant was.
  Most of the plant containing starch trunk
  Starch plants, mostly concentrated in the fruit, seeds, roots inside, but there are some plants within the starch stored in the stems. Growth in Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries of the sago palm tree is now the largest plant starch stored in the plant kingdom, it is the starch stored in the trunk. Usually a sago palm tree, 10 meters to 12 meters, diameter 20 cm to 25 cm thick, you can collect about 100 kg of dry starch. Locals will be processed, it becomes a delicate white edible sago. It is said that a person moving in the sago palm Lin Neilao day, enough to eat sago income year.
  The strongest water plant
  Water plant is the strongest category in the sphagnum moss plants. Peat moss and alpine plants born in the swamp forest, or often dripping rock, the depression and the grass. They were usually light green, drying pale or yellow-white, clustered into a cushion. This plant can absorb 10 times their own weight 25 times the water absorbent than cotton's ability to even stronger 1 times to 1.5 times. Its excellent water absorption capability makes the sterilization process, the actually do can replace cotton dressing or manufactured first aid kits: the First World War, because of the lack of cotton wool, the United Kingdom, Canada and Italy and other countries on the use of peat moss and water absorption instead of Emergency dressing made of cotton.
  The best quality of fiber plant
  In a variety of plant fiber, ramie fiber quality is best. The fiber cells up to 62 cm, tough and full of shiny, bright coloring, not easy to fade, can be described as both beautiful and durable. Tensile strength of ramie fiber than cotton, 8 times 9 times higher, so you can make the aircraft wing fabric, parachute material and manufacturing canvas, grenades cable, rope and other aviation ropes; ramie fibers when wet , but also to much higher tensile strength, and faster water absorption and evaporation, both corrosion-resistant, easy to mold features, is to create waterproof cloth, fishing nets and other material of choice; ramie fiber heat quickly, easily conduct electricity, so can also be lined with tires, belts and other machinery.
  The lightest trees
  The world's lightest trees grow in tropical forests of South America in the light wood. It is also light wood kapok is the only Division evergreen species. As the lightest wood, light wood only 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter, the weight of the same volume of water to 1 / 10. It grows very quickly, the body's cells and tissues update soon, which makes the whole plant is light, soft and elastic. As the texture of the light, strong, and can heat insulation, sound insulation, often used as aviation, marine, and other valuable materials, special processes.
  The most rare tree
  Betulaceae Carpinus Carpinus genus Po is the world's most rare and a plant, because it only grows in China's Putuo Mountain, and is currently only one. This is extremely rare strain of Putuo Carpinus was in May 1930, by the famous plant taxonomist Professor Zhong Guanguang first discovered in the Putuo Mountain, after the scientist Professor Zheng Wanjun Lin officially named in 1932. At present, this tree has been listed as national key protected plants.

Smaller range of the tree, mainly distributed in southern Korea and the areas bordering with China, southern Russia, and also distributed along the waterfront.
  The world's longest life expectancy of the leaves of plants
  The world's longest life expectancy of plant leaves, belong in the desert southwest Africa a hundred blue. Its up to 3 meters, and never leaves litter the life span of two years or more. This particular plant stems short and thick, not more than 20 cm high, spreading the reel long curved leaves, in the desert, from afar, like the monster on the ground plate in general. Mix of plants is evident.
  The longest leaf
  Leaves the world, no two are identical. Their shapes, different. The largest leaves, you can branch off every one, if no root is the smallest Ping negligible. Then the longest leaves look like? According to the determination, South America's Amazon palm, its complete length of a leaf as much as 24.7 meters, but it is still not the longest leaves.

Change the mainland and the dinosaur on the brink of extinction, Alsophila exist independently. Alsophila double the plant kingdom is a living fossil, is currently the national level to protect plants.
  Flora of the largest family
  Plants known on Earth, there are more than 40 million, belonging to several categories. The common nature of these plants decorated the colorful, full of vitality. In many plants, angiosperms is the largest and most advanced categories. They appear far from the Mesozoic, accounting for all the plant species in 25 million species, is truly the greatest family.
  The most poisonous plants
  Curare people scissors wood tree, curare tree, while the Chinese call it "Antiaris Lesch" to describe the toxicity of the strong. The tree is the world's most poisonous plants, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, China's Yunnan Province will be able to see it's shadow. Insects taking it if the juice will be poisoned, if it's venom into the eyes, can immediately lead to blindness.

  The most crude plant
  Baiji big chestnut is the most thick plants. The trunk of the week for up to 55 meters, 17.5 meters in diameter, at least 30 people hand in hand, short-tailed bird to be around. Even the famous baobab trees of Africa and its comparison, it was no trivial, chestnut forests Baiji hole in the bottom there, to the mining, where Li are often put to use as a warehouse or quarters.
  Oldest tree
  Africa and Russia Seoul he Dracaena plants on the island, is the plant kingdom of the old god of longevity, the life of at least 8,000 years old, than the world famous red cedar, "Sequoia," and also older. This plant was destroyed in 1868 Dracaena a storm. Legend of Dragon's Blood Dragon and Elephant trees are HIV infected blood during the war the land was born, hence the name off. Dracaena dark red resin can be used preservatives, can also be treated muscles pain medicine.
  The most short-lived plants
  Growth in the short-lived in the desert life of chrysanthemum can be considered the shortest plants in the plant kingdom, because it can only live a few weeks. Arid desert climate year round, short-lived little daisy in the rain and they will soon sprout growth, flowering, and death. This is a short-lived Chrysanthemum sad, but also the living environment of desert plants adapt to the results.
  Sweetest plants
  Anti-African yam leaves the fruit has been described as the world's most plants the sweet. This lovely red coral-like fruit, shape and Ye Putao quite similar, but sweetness is not the same language, because they are still sweet on sugar than 9 million times. This high sweetness of the fruit, the entrance is not greasy, and can have lasting sweetness.
  The most drought-resistant plants
  African desert sand that snake melon is considered the world's most drought-resistant plants, some people put it in dry storage Museum, a full eight years, it has not dry out and die, also grow new leaves each summer. In these 8 years, just to reduce weight by 7.5 kg to 3.5 kg. This drought-tolerant ability, in all seed plants is undoubtedly the champion.
  The most deep-rooted plants Shen
  Echo in the face of non-奥里斯达德 near a fig tree hole, estimated to be the deepest roots of plants in the world: the depth of its roots to issue 120 meters, the equivalent of 40 on the ground floor as high. From the deep roots of this plant the fig can count most of the world.
  The largest plant canopy
  The largest plant canopy of a banyan tree to the number of Bangladesh, and its crown cover of land, equivalent to one and a half football fields. Thousands of its gas raw milk, have vertical ground, buried root. Viewed from afar, as if the whole plant a lush banyan trees, said there was a six or seven thousand troops in such a large banyan tree shade. What is more, the old banyan tree in the local one to offer a bustling market. There has been no greater than that of the crown.
  The latest flowering plants
  In contrast, woody plants bloom quite late. The pear, for example, need to grow four years to flower, ginkgo is more than 20 years after emergence to flowering, while the bamboo is more to go through 50 years to 60 years to blossom, and his only flower once. But still not the last of the flowering plants, but a little-known pineapple - the growth of pineapple in Bolivia brother Ramon. The plant should grow at least 150 years before flowering, after flowering, and immediately died. Latest from the flowering of such pineapple deserved.
  The seeds of the shortest life expectancy
  Haloxylon desert tree seeds, is considered the world's shortest life of the seed, because it can only live a few hours. But its vitality is very strong, as long as there is a little bit of water, in two or three hours it will take root. For Haloxylon, which is also the result of the environment to adapt to the harsh desert.
  The seeds of the longest life expectancy
  Life is the seed of varying lengths, generally come to, to maintain the vitality of 15 or more, is considered a longevity of seeds. In many plant seeds, lotus seeds can survive a thousand years of rot, even under the proper conditions can germinate into a beautiful lotus. In nature, in addition to the ancient lotus seeds now know exactly outside the seed world's longest life expectancy and no more than 200 years.
  Plants with the highest protein
  Spirulina is the highest known protein-containing plants. The individual than the same great nutrition of Chlorella after this 100 times, 68% protein content also is usually more than 3 times the consumption of meat, half lean half fat 8 times more pork. In addition to high-protein, Spirulina is also rich in vitamins, chlorophyll, β-carotene, γ-linolenic acid and other nutrients and substances that can regulate fat metabolism, anti-aging. Spirulina because of its comprehensive nutrition, food ingredients has been the great esteem in the health food industry.
  Spend the shortest life expectancy
  A variety of flowering plants, flowering may be long or short, are different. Thus, in the very short time, people often use "flash in the pan" to describe certain things or phenomena quickly fade away. In fact, the life of Epiphyllum will remain at least 4 hours, compared with Xiao Mei barbaric for only 5 minutes, at most no more than 30 minutes, and Epiphyllum only 1 / 48 or so. Therefore, the wheat flower is the world's shortest life expectancy of flowers.
  The fastest growing plants
  China is the world's fastest-growing bamboo plants. It from the bamboo shoots to grow, requiring only about two months time, but can reach 20 m height, the equivalent of six or seven floors high. Peak in the growth of bamboo, a long day and night to 1 m high. "Mushroom" was that from this.
  Plants grow the slowest
  Kalahari Desert in Africa, there is a name off Galway Z. trees, tall is short, the crown is circular, at first glance, just like the sand of the small round table. It is extremely slow growth, high 30 cm long it takes a whole 100 years. Galway Z. So the branches grow so slowly, in addition to its nature outside the arid desert, dry environment, hinder the growth of a strong wind is an important reason.
  Volume of the largest tree
  U.S. plus species of giant fir, also known as Fu Niya Sequoia, called the trees of the "Giant": it's the average height of 100 meters, the highest one up to 142 meters, diameter of 12 meters, the trunk circumference of 37 meters At least 20 adults to be surrounded. This giant sequoia strains have been 3,500 years old. People from the trunk to open a hole under the car can be smooth in between.
  The smallest seed
  There is a plant called plaque pleione, also known as small Yeh, silver cord is connected, is a terrestrial orchid. Its seed is the world's smallest and lightest seeds: As the dust so small as 50,000 seeds can add up to only 0.025 grams, 100 million seeds failed to spot Eran more than 50 grams. People still have not found much smaller than that of seeds.
  Largest seed
  Sea coconut is the seed of the world's most important, the largest seeds, more than 30 cm in diameter, weight 5 kg over that. It is only produced in the Republic of Seychelles in the Indian Ocean island, usually take 20 years to 40 years to bear fruit, fruit to 8 years to mature, harvest the seed, but every year about 1200 materials. Coco has been successfully introduced in China, _set_tled in Beijing Botanical Garden.
  First appeared in green plants
  Numerous existing green plants on Earth, but the source of green earth, who is it? Is the cyanobacteria, which contain chlorophyll and can manufacture their own nutrients in microbes. Cyanobacteria fossils found proved in 34 million years ago, the appearance of life on Earth has been green. These algae in the long years, from low-moderate to high, from simple to complex, from sea to land step by step evolution, the development of the earth until the mind of today's flowers, lush.
  Most plants alone
  In the flowers of the plant kingdom, there is one of the most lonely plant, which is the single flower, single leaf uniflora. This perennial herb is currently only distributed in China, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Uniflora mosaic not only depression, but the structure is also simple and original. This unique plant has since been found in 1914 that aroused the interest and foreign scholars. We believe that the structure of the research uniflora development of angiosperm evolution for more information.
  Inflorescence largest herb
  Giant Konjac is the world's largest flowering plant, but also the largest inflorescence of grasses. Giant Amorphophallus spadix up to 2 meters, including on the outside of the leafy spathe as high as 1 meter in diameter is 1.3 meters. The whole plant resembles a giant candlestick, the inflorescence of large, second to none in the herb.
  The highest plant
  Eucalyptus family a total of more than 600 members, more than a very tall, the highest in the world championship eucalyptus almonds. Almond Eucalyptus grown in semi-arid regions of Oceania, they are easily more than hundred meters high. Victoria, southeastern Australia, Gippsland's a huge eucalyptus almonds, up to 156 meters, higher than the North American giant sequoias full 14 meters, equivalent to 50 storeys high. Almond Eucalyptus tree base is also very coarse, straight Mody up to 10 meters is the span of a normal building. Almond Eucalyptus high, so other plants can offer.
  The smallest flowering plants
  Ping is a rootless world's smallest flowering plants, each one Ping only 1 mm long and more wide-less than 1 mm. They are often packed to cover the surface of the water, a green from afar. Ping and rootless duckweed is similar, but it is negligible compared to, round the back of the small blade of a fine root joint, only the size of pen core, only the equivalent of duckweed 1 / 4. Ping small rootless. But there are flowers, flowers as big as only the tip: This ping with flowers in their own small and individual, to create the plant kingdom, "the smallest flowering plants," the record.
  The longest plant
  White rattan palm is, stems only 4 cm to 5 cm thick, but the length is up to three hundred meters, and some even up to four or five meters, called the plant the most. Whole body covered with small white cane hook thorn, so that when it swings in the forest when the wind is likely to hook a tree, once hooked up it will climb down the tree, spreading, climbing trees top-down and then re-winding detour, until its stop growing up. Eventually people will see is this: numerous trees were tied with rattan ring, a tropical forest in a unique landscape.
  The most crude plant
  Baiji big chestnut is the most thick plants. The trunk of the week for up to 55 meters, 17.5 meters in diameter, at least 30 people hand in hand, short-tailed bird to be around. Even the famous baobab trees of Africa and its comparison, it was no trivial, chestnut forests Baiji hole in the bottom there, to the mining, where Li are often put to use as a warehouse or quarters.

What is more, the old banyan tree in the local one to offer a bustling market. There has been no greater than that of the crown.
  The latest flowering plants
  In contrast, woody plants bloom quite late. The pear, for example, need to grow four years to flower, ginkgo is more than 20 years after emergence to flowering, while the bamboo is more to go through 50 years to 60 years to blossom, and his only flower once. But still not the last of the flowering plants, but a little-known pineapple - the growth of pineapple in Bolivia brother Ramon. The plant should grow at least 150 years before flowering, after flowering, and immediately died. Latest from the flowering of such pineapple deserved.
  The seeds of the shortest life expectancy
  Haloxylon desert tree seeds, is considered the world's shortest life of the seed, because it can only live a few hours. But its vitality is very strong, as long as there is a little bit of water, in two or three hours it will take root. For Haloxylon, which is also the result of the environment to adapt to the harsh desert.
  The seeds of the longest life expectancy
  Life is the seed of varying lengths, generally come to, to maintain the vitality of 15 or more, is considered a longevity of seeds. In many plant seeds, lotus seeds can survive a thousand years of rot, even under the proper conditions can germinate into a beautiful lotus. In nature, in addition to the ancient lotus seeds now know exactly outside the seed world's longest life expectancy and no more than 200 years.
  Plants with the highest protein
  Spirulina is the highest known protein-containing plants. The individual than the same great nutrition of Chlorella after this 100 times, 68% protein content also is usually more than 3 times the consumption of meat, half lean half fat 8 times more pork. In addition to high-protein, Spirulina is also rich in vitamins, chlorophyll, β-carotene, γ-linolenic acid and other nutrients and substances that can regulate fat metabolism, anti-aging. Spirulina because of its comprehensive nutrition, food ingredients has been the great esteem in the health food industry.
  Spend the shortest life expectancy
  A variety of flowering plants, flowering may be long or short, are different. Thus, in the very short time, people often use "flash in the pan" to describe certain things or phenomena quickly fade away. In fact, the life of Epiphyllum will remain at least 4 hours, compared with Xiao Mei barbaric for only 5 minutes, at most no more than 30 minutes, and Epiphyllum only 1 / 48 or so. Therefore, the wheat flower is the world's shortest life expectancy of flowers.
  The fastest growing plants
  China is the world's fastest-growing bamboo plants. It from the bamboo shoots to grow, requiring only about two months time, but can reach 20 m height, the equivalent of six or seven floors high. Peak in the growth of bamboo, a long day and night to 1 m high. "Mushroom" was that from this.
  Plants grow the slowest
  Kalahari Desert in Africa, there is a name off Galway Z. trees, tall is short, the crown is circular, at first glance, just like the sand of the small round table. It is extremely slow growth, high 30 cm long it takes a whole 100 years. Galway Z. So the branches grow so slowly, in addition to its nature outside the arid desert, dry environment, hinder the growth of a strong wind is an important reason.
  Volume of the largest tree
  U.S. plus species of giant fir, also known as Fu Niya Sequoia, called the trees of the "Giant": it's the average height of 100 meters, the highest one up to 142 meters, diameter of 12 meters, the trunk circumference of 37 meters At least 20 adults to be surrounded. This giant sequoia strains have been 3,500 years old. People from the trunk to open a hole under the car can be smooth in between.
  The smallest seed
  There is a plant called plaque pleione, also known as small Yeh, silver cord is connected, is a terrestrial orchid. Its seed is the world's smallest and lightest seeds: As the dust so small as 50,000 seeds can add up to only 0.025 grams, 100 million seeds failed to spot Eran more than 50 grams. People still have not found much smaller than that of seeds.
  Largest seed
  Sea coconut is the seed of the world's most important, the largest seeds, more than 30 cm in diameter, weight 5 kg over that. It is only produced in the Republic of Seychelles in the Indian Ocean island, usually take 20 years to 40 years to bear fruit, fruit to 8 years to mature, harvest the seed, but every year about 1200 materials. Coco has been successfully introduced in China, _set_tled in Beijing Botanical Garden.
  First appeared in green plants
  Numerous existing green plants on Earth, but the source of green earth, who is it? Is the cyanobacteria, which contain chlorophyll and can manufacture their own nutrients in microbes. Cyanobacteria fossils found proved in 34 million years ago, the appearance of life on Earth has been green. These algae in the long years, from low-moderate to high, from simple to complex, from sea to land step by step evolution, the development of the earth until the mind of today's flowers, lush.
  Most plants alone
  In the flowers of the plant kingdom, there is one of the most lonely plant, which is the single flower, single leaf uniflora. This perennial herb is currently only distributed in China, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Uniflora mosaic not only depression, but the structure is also simple and original. This unique plant has since been found in 1914 that aroused the interest and foreign scholars. We believe that the structure of the research uniflora development of angiosperm evolution for more information.
  Inflorescence largest herb
  Giant Konjac is the world's largest flowering plant, but also the largest inflorescence of grasses. Giant Amorphophallus spadix up to 2 meters, including on the outside of the leafy spathe as high as 1 meter in diameter is 1.3 meters. The whole plant resembles a giant candlestick, the inflorescence of large, second to none in the herb.
  The highest plant
  Eucalyptus family a total of more than 600 members, more than a very tall, the highest in the world championship eucalyptus almonds. Almond Eucalyptus grown in semi-arid regions of Oceania, they are easily more than hundred meters high. Victoria, southeastern Australia, Gippsland's a huge eucalyptus almonds, up to 156 meters, higher than the North American giant sequoias full 14 meters, equivalent to 50 storeys high. Almond Eucalyptus tree base is also very coarse, straight Mody up to 10 meters is the span of a normal building. Almond Eucalyptus high, so other plants can offer.
  The smallest flowering plants
  Ping is a rootless world's smallest flowering plants, each one Ping only 1 mm long and more wide-less than 1 mm. They are often packed to cover the surface of the water, a green from afar. Ping and rootless duckweed is similar, but it is negligible compared to, round the back of the small blade of a fine root joint, only the size of pen core, only the equivalent of duckweed 1 / 4. Ping small rootless. But there are flowers, flowers as big as only the tip: This ping with flowers in their own small and individual, to create the plant kingdom, "the smallest flowering plants," the record.
  The longest plant
  White rattan palm is, stems only 4 cm to 5 cm thick, but the length is up to three hundred meters, and some even up to four or five meters, called the plant the most. Whole body covered with small white cane hook thorn, so that when it swings in the forest when the wind is likely to hook a tree, once hooked up it will climb down the tree, spreading, climbing trees top-down and then re-winding detour, until its stop growing up. Eventually people will see is this: numerous trees were tied with rattan ring, a tropical forest in a unique landscape.

  Largest flower
  The world's largest flower is growing in the tropical rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia, the Rafflesia, the original name of Raffles • Arnold Corti flowers, 1.5 m in diameter, 5 petals average thickness of 1.4 cm. It has no roots, no stems, no leaves, parasitic on other plants; to distribute rancid smell to attract flies for its pollination; its seeds is very small, difficult to see the naked eye, with the sticky seeds. Rafflesia traditional folk medicine as Malaysia, can help mothers natural childbirth, treatment of asthma and hemorrhoids.
  The largest inflorescence of plants
  In plants, the yield on India's larger hands palm inflorescence should be the greatest. This slow-growing palm palm than the other 30 long years to 40 years to 20 meters high. This time its the top of the cone-shaped inflorescence bears flowers of a very large, inflorescence up to 14 meters, the number of inflorescence growth of more than 700,000 flowers, the base diameter of 12 meters, from afar like a huge pile of rice. The inflorescence of large, ranked first in the plant kingdom.
  The most hardy plants of vitality
  Most tenacious vitality should be the lichen species, and according to tests, it can endure high temperature of about 70 ℃ but not death, at the low temperature of minus 273 ℃ can grow, even in vacuum for 6 years still maintain its vitality. It is tough living in the growth of many plants are not environment, very widespread, desert, Arctic, Antarctic, and even the back of sea turtles can find traces of it, lichens are therefore known as the vegetable kingdom's "pioneering vanguard."
  Medicinal tree of the thickest
  Baobab tree, also known as Bo Babu, growth in eastern Africa on the vast savannah. This tree bark, leaves, fruits are available for medicinal purposes. And other medicinal plants is different, the monkey bread tree, eye-popping figure: it is unusually thick trunk, with an average diameter of already more than 10 m, the thick base of a tree trunk as high as 16 meters in diameter and 30 adult hands Wanshou to around the week. It is currently the world's crude medicinal trees, known as the "king of herbs."
  The most ferocious plants
  Carnivorous plants to the world, about 500 species, but only to the vast majority of small insects. Growth lay the island of Java in Indonesia is the world's Park most ferocious plant, it can be mercilessly put people to eat. Branches of this tree grows a soft, people once accidentally touched the branches, they soon gathered around the man Juan Zhu, and the more volume and more tightly until people can not get out. Dian Parkinson then secretes a kind of "digestion", which will slowly digest. Dian Parkinson Although fierce, but the juice is a valuable medicine material, so people will still collect it. However, in order to prevent the imprisoned, feed the fish that people would use pre-laying Park, it will not have to feed the dangerous.
  The most sensitive plants that
  Mimosa is a very sensitive plant, a slight touch of fingers will close it quickly leaves. But this is not the feeling of the most sensitive plants. Darwin has done such an experiment: a 11 mm long thin hair, on the carnivorous plant sundew leaves, and leaves the hair can escape immediately felt. Someone 0.000003 mg of ammonium carbonate, drop in the sundew hairs, so that small weight, it actually can be immediately felt. In contrast, sundew to fare better than mimosa, one chip, is the world's most sensitive plant was feeling.
  The shortest tree
  The world's shortest tree is grown in the alpine tundra of the dwarf willow. It's height is only 3 cm to 5 cm. Almond and eucalyptus in the world compared to most, one high and one low correlation of 1.5 times. The dwarf willow dwarf, amazing. General creeping stems of this plant on the ground, the germination pumping like willow branches grow after the same inflorescence, but although the same as willow, but the height difference is too much. The reason why dwarf willow dwarf, is not primarily constrained by harsh climatic conditions, dwarf willow grows in the alpine zone, where the temperature is very low, thin air, strong winds, direct sunlight, the plant body to be short, to adapt to this environment.
  Distribution of fossil trees in the highest
  Found in the northern slope of the peak areas Xixiabama fossil leaves of Quercus, is by far the highest distribution of fossil trees. It grows in the crevice, in the height of 5900 meters above sea level, where the extremely bad weather. And the existing mountain altitude compared to oak, drop of 3,000 meters. Through qualitative research after scientists proved: the Himalayan region was a vast ocean. In about 4000 million years ago to 7000 million years ago, the sea receded, there has been land. Later, with the movement, the land rising to form the Himalayas today. 150 million years, the Himalayas rising by about 3,000 meters. Quercus leaf fossils, which can be used as historical evidence.
  The results of the most peculiar habits
  Land plants, the peanut is the most peculiar result of habit, because almost all of the other plants flowering on the ground, the results of the ground, only peanut blossom on the ground floor is the result. Peanut seedling, after nearly a month or so, they begin to blossom. Fourth day after flowering, the ovary stalk elongation, which started growing under the soil, soil under the final and complete decline. About another 50 days, peanut fruit to mature. According to the determination of peanut in the soil is under way by the results of the characteristics of HI caused by the dark, that once the middle of the developing fruit met with a small sun, we will not normally grow. This odd temper, in the colorful plant kingdom is also very alternative.
  The most fiery temper fruit plants
  Countries with the largest varieties of food plants
  Flowering plants in China, about 3 million. Which can directly or indirectly for human food, clothing, housing, the type used most in the world, because the order is to eat up to 2,000 kinds of plants. Which, in addition to growing crops, many of Wild's oil, starch, sugar crops and fruits, vegetables, etc., too numerous to mention. By contrast, Europe and America add up to only 1,000 kinds of edible plants, therefore, China is the country with the largest varieties of edible plants.
  Most water plants
  Plateau of Brazil in South America, grows a tall, unique shape of trees, it is now the champion water plant kingdom: This is the spindle tree. It has more than 30 meters tall, thin trunks between two thick, place the thickest diameter of up to 5 meters, which makes it much stuck in the ground looked like a giant spindle. Spindle tree trunk can store more than two tons of water, at the local, if per capita consumption of 3 kg of water per day to calculate, cut a spindle tree, a family of four almost drink for six months. There has been no more water than this plant was.
  Most of the plant containing starch trunk
  Starch plants, mostly concentrated in the fruit, seeds, roots inside, but there are some plants within the starch stored in the stems. Growth in Southeast Asia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries of the sago palm tree is now the largest plant starch stored in the plant kingdom, it is the starch stored in the trunk. Usually a sago palm tree, 10 meters to 12 meters, diameter 20 cm to 25 cm thick, you can collect about 100 kg of dry starch. Locals will be processed, it becomes a delicate white edible sago. It is said that a person moving in the sago palm Lin Neilao day, enough to eat sago income year.
  The strongest water plant
  Water plant is the strongest category in the sphagnum moss plants. Peat moss and alpine plants born in the swamp forest, or often dripping rock, the depression and the grass. They were usually light green, drying pale or yellow-white, clustered into a cushion. This plant can absorb 10 times their own weight 25 times the water absorbent than cotton's ability to even stronger 1 times to 1.5 times. Its excellent water absorption capability makes the sterilization process, the actually do can replace cotton dressing or manufactured first aid kits: the First World War, because of the lack of cotton wool, the United Kingdom, Canada and Italy and other countries on the use of peat moss and water absorption instead of Emergency dressing made of cotton.
  The best quality of fiber plant
  In a variety of plant fiber, ramie fiber quality is best. The fiber cells up to 62 cm, tough and full of shiny, bright coloring, not easy to fade, can be described as both beautiful and durable. Tensile strength of ramie fiber than cotton, 8 times 9 times higher, so you can make the aircraft wing fabric, parachute material and manufacturing canvas, grenades cable, rope and other aviation ropes; ramie fibers when wet , but also to much higher tensile strength, and faster water absorption and evaporation, both corrosion-resistant, easy to mold features, is to create waterproof cloth, fishing nets and other material of choice; ramie fiber heat quickly, easily conduct electricity, so can also be lined with tires, belts and other machinery.
  The lightest trees
  The world's lightest trees grow in tropical forests of South America in the light wood. It is also light wood kapok is the only Division evergreen species. As the lightest wood, light wood only 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter, the weight of the same volume of water to 1 / 10. It grows very quickly, the body's cells and tissues update soon, which makes the whole plant is light, soft and elastic. As the texture of the light, strong, and can heat insulation, sound insulation, often used as aviation, marine, and other valuable materials, special processes.
  The most rare tree
  Betulaceae Carpinus Carpinus genus Po is the world's most rare and a plant, because it only grows in China's Putuo Mountain, and is currently only one. This is extremely rare strain of Putuo Carpinus was in May 1930, by the famous plant taxonomist Professor Zhong Guanguang first discovered in the Putuo Mountain, after the scientist Professor Zheng Wanjun Lin officially named in 1932. At present, this tree has been listed as national key protected plants.

The book tells the Taizhou (Zhejiang Taizhou area today) growth of 11 species of fungi, including the period character and color taste and so on. 300 years later, Pan Ming Hang On this basis and with a "wide spectrum of bacteria," a collection of more than 40 species of plants of various fungi, some people continued to fill after the Ming Dynasty, updated. These early works are the ancient Chinese study fungi fungi scientific summary, with a high academic value.
  Most of the flower color changes
  Hibiscus mutabilis, also known as the three get-color get Hibiscus, Malvaceae Hibiscus is deciduous shrubs or small trees, but also spend the most natural color change. Its flowers are white when first opened, the next day becomes light red, and later became a deep red, to spend the time, he is a litter purple. Much of its color changes can be described as mysterious. According to research, these colors are actually spent on the change in pigment concentration with temperature and pH change with the results.
  The tree harder than steel
  Iron birch Betulaceae Betula is, is the world's most hard wood, people even use it for metal substitutes. Iron birch is 20 meters high, diameter about 70 cm, life is about 300 to 350 years. Its texture is very dense, the hardness over oak three times more than ordinary steel doubled. This stunning features, making it the manufacture of bearings, ball of excellent material. Smaller range of the tree, mainly distributed in southern Korea and the areas bordering with China, southern Russia, and also distributed along the waterfront.
  The world's longest life expectancy of the leaves of plants
  The world's longest life expectancy of plant leaves, belong in the desert southwest Africa a hundred blue. Its up to 3 meters, and never leaves litter the life span of two years or more. This particular plant stems short and thick, not more than 20 cm high, spreading the reel long curved leaves, in the desert, from afar, like the monster on the ground plate in general. Mix of plants is evident.
  The longest leaf
  Leaves the world, no two are identical. Their shapes, different. The largest leaves, you can branch off every one, if no root is the smallest Ping negligible. Then the longest leaves look like? According to the determination, South America's Amazon palm, its complete length of a leaf as much as 24.7 meters, but it is still not the longest leaves. Record of the longest leaf were a refreshing tropical coconut leaves. It's a full 27-meter-long blades, strong up the equivalent of a 7-story height: This is by far the longest known leaves.
  The largest leaves of aquatic plants
  Wang Lian leaves of aquatic plants can be said aquatic flowering plants was the largest. That more than two meters in diameter, Chaoyang side is light green, very smooth, the back is red soil, thick with thick veins and bristles. Wang Lin of the leaf margin rolled up, such a structure to make it look like a float in the water too pan, not over 35 kg weight of a child can safely stand on the top, this time the king like a lotus leaf only stable boat.

  King fern
  Alsophila is the world's only remaining tree ferns, fern plant is the highest for the Cretaceous era legacy rare plants. It appears even earlier than the dinosaurs 150 million years, when the Alsophila around the world, tall and lush. Change the mainland and the dinosaur on the brink of extinction, Alsophila exist independently. Alsophila double the plant kingdom is a living fossil, is currently the national level to protect plants.
  Flora of the largest family
  Plants known on Earth, there are more than 40 million, belonging to several categories. The common nature of these plants decorated the colorful, full of vitality. In many plants, angiosperms is the largest and most advanced categories. They appear far from the Mesozoic, accounting for all the plant species in 25 million species, is truly the greatest family.
  The most poisonous plants
  Curare people scissors wood tree, curare tree, while the Chinese call it "Antiaris Lesch" to describe the toxicity of the strong. The tree is the world's most poisonous plants, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, China's Yunnan Province will be able to see it's shadow. Insects taking it if the juice will be poisoned, if it's venom into the eyes, can immediately lead to blindness.
  The most famous plant pest
  Pyrethrum is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae, with Compositae elegant, fresh and chic. However, has chosen such a beautiful plant is deadly killer mosquitoes and other pests.

Not only to eliminate mosquito pyrethrum, or fruit and vegetable pests destroy a good helper. Because of this, it is, and tobacco, poison rotenone were intimate to collectively as the "three plant pesticides."
  The most crude plant
  Baiji big chestnut is the most thick plants. The trunk of the week for up to 55 meters, 17.5 meters in diameter, at least 30 people hand in hand, short-tailed bird to be around. Even the famous baobab trees of Africa and its comparison, it was no trivial, chestnut forests Baiji hole in the bottom there, to the mining, where Li are often put to use as a warehouse or quarters.
  Oldest tree
  Africa and Russia Seoul he Dracaena plants on the island, is the plant kingdom of the old god of longevity, the life of at least 8,000 years old, than the world famous red cedar, "Sequoia," and also older. This plant was destroyed in 1868 Dracaena a storm. Legend of Dragon's Blood Dragon and Elephant trees are HIV infected blood during the war the land was born, hence the name off. Dracaena dark red resin can be used preservatives, can also be treated muscles pain medicine.
  The most short-lived plants
  Growth in the short-lived in the desert life of chrysanthemum can be considered the shortest plants in the plant kingdom, because it can only live a few weeks. Arid desert climate year round, short-lived little daisy in the rain and they will soon sprout growth, flowering, and death. This is a short-lived Chrysanthemum sad, but also the living environment of desert plants adapt to the results.
  The most drought-resistant plants
  African desert sand that snake melon is considered the world's most drought-resistant plants, some people put it in dry storage Museum, a full eight years, it has not dry out and die, also grow new leaves each summer. In these 8 years, just to reduce weight by 7.5 kg to 3.5 kg. This drought-tolerant ability, in all seed plants is undoubtedly the champion.
  The most deep-rooted plants Shen
  Echo in the face of non-奥里斯达德 near a fig tree hole, estimated to be the deepest roots of plants in the world: the depth of its roots to issue 120 meters, the equivalent of 40 on the ground floor as high. From the deep roots of this plant the fig can count most of the world.
  The largest plant canopy
  The largest plant canopy of a banyan tree to the number of Bangladesh, and its crown cover of land, equivalent to one and a half football fields. Thousands of its gas raw milk, have vertical ground, buried root. Viewed from afar, as if the whole plant a lush banyan trees, said there was a six or seven thousand troops in such a large banyan tree shade. What is more, the old banyan tree in the local one to offer a bustling market. There has been no greater than that of the crown.
  The latest flowering plants
  In contrast, woody plants bloom quite late. The pear, for example, need to grow four years to flower, ginkgo is more than 20 years after emergence to flowering, while the bamboo is more to go through 50 years to 60 years to blossom, and his only flower once. But still not the last of the flowering plants, but a little-known pineapple - the growth of pineapple in Bolivia brother Ramon. The plant should grow at least 150 years before flowering, after flowering, and immediately died. Latest from the flowering of such pineapple deserved.
  The seeds of the shortest life expectancy
  Haloxylon desert tree seeds, is considered the world's shortest life of the seed, because it can only live a few hours. But its vitality is very strong, as long as there is a little bit of water, in two or three hours it will take root. For Haloxylon, which is also the result of the environment to adapt to the harsh desert.
  The seeds of the longest life expectancy
  Life is the seed of varying lengths, generally come to, to maintain the vitality of 15 or more, is considered a longevity of seeds. In many plant seeds, lotus seeds can survive a thousand years of rot, even under the proper conditions can germinate into a beautiful lotus. In nature, in addition to the ancient lotus seeds now know exactly outside the seed world's longest life expectancy and no more than 200 years.
  Plants with the highest protein
  Spirulina is the highest known protein-containing plants. The individual than the same great nutrition of Chlorella after this 100 times, 68% protein content also is usually more than 3 times the consumption of meat, half lean half fat 8 times more pork. In addition to high-protein, Spirulina is also rich in vitamins, chlorophyll, β-carotene, γ-linolenic acid and other nutrients and substances that can regulate fat metabolism, anti-aging. Spirulina because of its comprehensive nutrition, food ingredients has been the great esteem in the health food industry.
  Spend the shortest life expectancy
  A variety of flowering plants, flowering may be long or short, are different. Thus, in the very short time, people often use "flash in the pan" to describe certain things or phenomena quickly fade away. In fact, the life of Epiphyllum will remain at least 4 hours, compared with Xiao Mei barbaric for only 5 minutes, at most no more than 30 minutes, and Epiphyllum only 1 / 48 or so. Therefore, the wheat flower is the world's shortest life expectancy of flowers.
  The fastest growing plants
  China is the world's fastest-growing bamboo plants. It from the bamboo shoots to grow, requiring only about two months time, but can reach 20 m height, the equivalent of six or seven floors high. Peak in the growth of bamboo, a long day and night to 1 m high. "Mushroom" was that from this.
  Plants grow the slowest
  Kalahari Desert in Africa, there is a name off Galway Z. trees, tall is short, the crown is circular, at first glance, just like the sand of the small round table. It is extremely slow growth, high 30 cm long it takes a whole 100 years. Galway Z. So the branches grow so slowly, in addition to its nature outside the arid desert, dry environment, hinder the growth of a strong wind is an important reason.
  Volume of the largest tree
  U.S. plus species of giant fir, also known as Fu Niya Sequoia, called the trees of the "Giant": it's the average height of 100 meters, the highest one up to 142 meters, diameter of 12 meters, the trunk circumference of 37 meters At least 20 adults to be surrounded. This giant sequoia strains have been 3,500 years old. People from the trunk to open a hole under the car can be smooth in between.
  The smallest seed
  There is a plant called plaque pleione, also known as small Yeh, silver cord is connected, is a terrestrial orchid. Its seed is the world's smallest and lightest seeds: As the dust so small as 50,000 seeds can add up to only 0.025 grams, 100 million seeds failed to spot Eran more than 50 grams. People still have not found much smaller than that of seeds.
  Largest seed
  Sea coconut is the seed of the world's most important, the largest seeds, more than 30 cm in diameter, weight 5 kg over that. It is only produced in the Republic of Seychelles in the Indian Ocean island, usually take 20 years to 40 years to bear fruit, fruit to 8 years to mature, harvest the seed, but every year about 1200 materials. Coco has been successfully introduced in China, _set_tled in Beijing Botanical Garden.
  First appeared in green plants
  Numerous existing green plants on Earth, but the source of green earth, who is it? Is the cyanobacteria, which contain chlorophyll and can manufacture their own nutrients in microbes. Cyanobacteria fossils found proved in 34 million years ago, the appearance of life on Earth has been green. These algae in the long years, from low-moderate to high, from simple to complex, from sea to land step by step evolution, the development of the earth until the mind of today's flowers, lush.
  Most plants alone
  In the flowers of the plant kingdom, there is one of the most lonely plant, which is the single flower, single leaf uniflora. This perennial herb is currently only distributed in China, Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu. Uniflora mosaic not only depression, but the structure is also simple and original. This unique plant has since been found in 1914 that aroused the interest and foreign scholars. We believe that the structure of the research uniflora development of angiosperm evolution for more information.
  The highest plant
  Eucalyptus family a total of more than 600 members, more than a very tall, the highest in the world championship eucalyptus almonds. Almond Eucalyptus grown in semi-arid regions of Oceania, they are easily more than hundred meters high. Victoria, southeastern Australia, Gippsland's a huge eucalyptus almonds, up to 156 meters, higher than the North American giant sequoias full 14 meters, equivalent to 50 storeys high. Almond Eucalyptus tree base is also very coarse, straight Mody up to 10 meters is the span of a normal building. Almond Eucalyptus high, so other plants can offer.
  The smallest flowering plants
  Ping is a rootless world's smallest flowering plants, each one Ping only 1 mm long and more wide-less than 1 mm. They are often packed to cover the surface of the water, a green from afar. Ping and rootless duckweed is similar, but it is negligible compared to, round the back of the small blade of a fine root joint, only the size of pen core, only the equivalent of duckweed 1 / 4. Ping small rootless. But there are flowers, flowers as big as only the tip: This ping with flowers in their own small and individual, to create the plant kingdom, "the smallest flowering plants," the record.
  The longest plant
  White rattan palm is, stems only 4 cm to 5 cm thick, but the length is up to three hundred meters, and some even up to four or five meters, called the plant the most. Whole body covered with small white cane hook thorn, so that when it swings in the forest when the wind is likely to hook a tree, once hooked up it will climb down the tree, spreading, climbing trees top-down and then re-winding detour, until its stop growing up. Eventually people will see is this: numerous trees were tied with rattan ring, a tropical forest in a unique landscape.
  Sweetest plants
  Anti-African yam leaves the fruit has been described as the world's most plants the sweet. This lovely red coral-like fruit, shape and Ye Putao quite similar, but sweetness is not the same language, because they are still sweet on sugar than 9 million times. This high sweetness of the fruit, the entrance is not greasy, and can have lasting sweetness.
