Abstract: Zhongtiao Mountains, located in the southern of Shanxi province, is situated between 34°38'-35°50' N latitude and 110°18'-112°37'E longitude. There is atypical warmtemperate semiwetness continental monsoon climate in the mountains. It is now known that there are 478 species of xylophyta in Zhongtiao Mountains, which are belonged to 164 genera and 73 families. Among them there are about 5 families, 10 genera, 18 species in Gymnospermeae; 2 families, 2 genera, 6 specie s in Monocotyledoneae and 66 families, 152 genera, 454 species in Dicotyledoneae. Analysis of the floristic elements based on families, genera and species shows they are very complex in Zhongtiao Mountains. Tropic-Subtropic-Temperate element isdominant in families, Temperate floristic elements make significant dominant ingenera, in which percents of North Temperate distribution is the highest, the speciesnumber of Chinese Endemic distribution elements is most in species, secondly E. Asiaand Temperate Asia distribution elements, it is indicated that the flora has some typical characteristics of warm-temperate deciduous broadleave forest. It is obvious permeation, intersection and transition of the flora. Furthermore Zhongtiao Mount ainsisricher area growing the rare and endangered xylophyta in the North China, It is now know that there are 15 species xylophyta of state-class conservation in Zhongtia o Mountains.
