[Objective]To investigate the wild woody plant resources in Mengshan Nature Reserve through field surveys,analyze the composi-tion of plant families and genera,and provide scientific basis for the protection and utilization of woody plant resources in the region.[Method]From January 2022 to December 2023,a survey was conducted using the transect method.Based on field investigations and reference literature review,the composition and geographical elements of the wild woody plant flora families and genera were studied.[Result]The results showed that there were 282 species belonging to 69 families and 136 genera of woody plants in Mengshan Mountain.The geographical elements of the flora were complex.There were 9 areal-types and 5 subtypes of the families,13 distribution types and 4 variations in the distribution area of the genus.The comprehensive analysis showed that the main geographical composition was the north temperate along with the pantropical elements.This phenomenon was related to the ecological geography of the Mengshan Mountains and indicated a complexity of flora in the study area.[Conclusion]The results indicated that woody flora of Mengshan Reserve was ancient to a certain extent,the floristic element analysis showed that temperate components were dominant,but there were also pantropical components,which might be related to the natural geographical en-vironment in this area.
