PengHu has development history over 700
years, and original plants on islands cannot be seen due to
pioneer¡¦s reclamation and wood cutting, and hard to be
traced in absence of documentation and record. Limited by
natural environments, PengHu is not such a pleasant place as
Taiwan for multiple plants¡¦ growing. In PengHu, most 400
kinds of plants are herbal, and tall bushes and arbors are
planted in gardens or as road tress or wind breaks. For
less vertical distribution and multiplicity of plant in
PengHu, non-vascular plants, such as alga, eubacteria, and
lichen, are seldom seen; ferns appear less; gymnosperms are
human planted; and angiosperms are scattered all over
islands as strong species. For restricted growing space,
plants are different in scattering area, growing
environment, land gradient, and structure. The Book divides
country plants in PengHu into wild cluster society (such as
plants in intertidal zone, in coral zone, in sand beach, in
sand lands, on grass land, in wetland, and woody plants),
and special plants (such as special species, rare species,
parasite, ferns, and red forest), and includes some
introductory contents about characters and scatterings for
plants often seen, but not too much in limited pages. The
goal set by the Book is to get people aware of country
plants, and further cherish them. |
