Background: The flora of China is well known for its high diversity and endemism. Identifying centers of endemism and designating conservation priorities are essential goals for biodiversity studies. We implemented a spatial phylogenetics analysis of the Chinese angiosperm flora at the generic level to identify centers of neo- and paleo-endemism. P...

Wang and Zhang [40] identified eight centers of endemism for 269 genera that are endemic to China (Additional file 1: Figure S1b). Using 12,980 seed plant species that are endemic to China [34], Huang et al. [41,42] identified 19 centers of endemism for the Chinese flora (Additional file 1: Figure S1d). ...

... et al. [3] identified 20 centers of endemism in central and southern China based on the distribution pattern of 555 Chinese endemic species (Additional file 1: Figure S1c). These studies all showed that mountainous areas harbored the largest number of endemism hotspots; in particular, the Hengduan Mountains and central China were two regions of critical conservation priority (Additional files 1 & 2). ...
