抗日战争胜利之后，1946年在美国植物学家梅尔、和嘉倡导之下，提议中美两国合编《中国植物志》，得到中国植物学家胡先骕积极响应，并开始编制计划、组织人员、筹集经费，但因时局影响，并未予以实施;但可将此看作是1988年中美开始合编Flora of China之起始。
China and the United States once planned joint compilation of the Flora of China after the victory in the China's Resistance War Against Japan
After the victory in the China's Resistance War Against Japan,in 1946,American botanists Elmer Drew Merrill and Egbert Hamilton Walker proposed the compilation of the Flora of China jointly by China and the United States.This proposal received enthusiastic support from Chinese botanist Hsen-Hsu Hu,who initiated the planning,organized personnel,and began fundraising efforts.However,due to the prevailing political situation,the project was not implemented at the time.Nonetheless,this can be regarded as the inception of the collaborative effort that culminated in the joint compilation of the Flora of China in 1988.
