A synoptic account of flora in the National Wetland Park of the Alpine Permafrost Zone, Jimunai, Xinjiang
The revised checklist includes 372 species, 179 genera and 46 families, reflecting a significant increase of 158 species, 45 genera and two families compared to previous records. Notably, the updated list identifies 20 rare and endangered species, five endemic plants of Xinjiang and 23 species newly recorded for the local area. These findings enhance the floristic knowledge of the Jimunai alpine periglacial zone and highlight previously overlooked plant diversity in this extreme habitat.
