Abstract

The study of the floristic relationship between Eastern Asia and North America involves many complex problems that concern both time and space. Timewise, a researcher can devote his time looking for paleobotanical information as well as studying current components of the vegetation of the areas concerned. Spacewise, the study can involve extensive research of widespread genera with disjunct distributions as well as intensive investigations of paired species occurring in limited areas. My report represents the result of field observations and herbarium and library investigations of two comparable areas: Hubei Province in Central China and the Carolinas in Eastern U.S.A. It covers the geographic background and general aspects of the floras of the two regions, and compares the similarities and differences of the vegetations they support.
