This study presents comprehensive data on the geographical distribution of the genus Pyrola across China,gathered through extensive literature review and specimen analysis.Results showed that:(1)Pyrola is ubiquitously distributed throughout all Chinese provinces,with Jilin and Sichuan recording the highest species counts,each hosting 10 species.(2)The Pyrola genus exhibits a predominant north temperate distribution type,but at the species level,the Chinese endemic distribution type is most common.(3)The altitudinal range of Pyrola spans from sea level to 4 100 m,primarily between 1 500-2 500 m.(4)There is a significant overlap between Pyrola distribution areas and coniferous forests in China,predominantly within boreal coniferous forests,indicating their significance for vegetation restoration.
