China's abundance of plant life ranks it among the top in the world. For example, with an area almost exactly that of the continental United States, China has nearly twice as many plant species, about 32,000 (compared to 17,000 for the U.S. and Canada combined) or one-eighth of the world's total. China's plant species include almost all the major plants that grow in the northern hemisphere's frigid, temperate and tropical zones. In addition, China has more than 7,000 species of woody plants, including 2,800-odd tree species. Found only in China are the metasequoia, Chinese cypress, Cathay silver fir, China fir, golden larch, Taiwan fir, Fujian cypress, dove-tree, eucommia and camplotheca acuminata. The metasequoia, a tall species of arbor, is considered to be one of the oldest and rarest plants in the world. The golden larch, one of only five species of rare garden trees in the world, grows in the mountainous areas in the Yangtze River Valley. Its coin-shaped leaves on short branches are green in spring and summer, turning yellow in autumn. China is home to more than 2,000 species of edible plants and over 3,000 species of medicinal plants. Ginseng from the Changbai Mountains, safflowers from Tibet, Chinese wolfberry from Ningxia and notoginseng from Yunnan and Guizhou are particularly well-known Chinese herbal medicines. China has a wide variety of flowering plants, including the world-renowned peony that is indigenous to China and considered one of the country's national flowers.China's diverse plant life includes more than 2,800 species of trees, such as metasequoia, bamboo, palm, oak, China fir, evergreen, and China cypress
Planting and preserving indigenous trees in our environment has several benefits. These trees are well-adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, making them more resilient to environmental changes. They provide habitat for wildlife, help prevent soil erosion, and improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Additionally, indigenous trees can help maintain biodiversity and support the overall health of ecosystems.

AnswerWell, sort of. But the question indicates some ignorance, although probably it is innocent ignorance.A tree is a type of plant. A flower is what some plants sprout for reproduction. Angiosperms are the types plants that flower to reproduce ... the flower has the stamen and pistil for plant-sexual reproduction. Some, in fact most, trees do in fact flower -- that is what a cherry or apple blossom is: a flower. But trees can only reproduce among their own species.
