CONIFER IN VIETNAM

Indo-China is a hot-spot for conifer diversity, 33 species of conifer are recognised as indigenous to Vietnam.

•  In recent years, the Vietnamese coniferous flora has been expanded by a number of new

records for the country together with discoveries of a number of new species for

science.

•  The biogeography of the Vietnamese coniferous fauna is characterised by three distinct

elements: ancient relictual taxa in the climatic refugia of the country’s mountainous

areas; endemic species, representing approximately one quarter of the flora; and

tropical podocarps, with their origins in the southern hemisphere.

•  Conifers in Vietnam are distributed in four main, upland, areas:  the north-west; the Hoang Lien Mountains; limestone mountains of north and north-east Vietnam;  and the Central Highlands .
