Field investigation of Primulina gueilinensis
2023-04-02 Field investigation

The distribution of Primulina gueilinensis is relatively widespread in the Guilin area, ranging from Guilin city to Yangshuo county. Currently, the population size is large. With the gradual improvement of the ecological environment in the Lijiang River basin around Guilin, the population size and growth condition of Primulina gueilinensis are much better than before. Currently, its conservation status is 'Least Concern (LC). In spring, around April, you have the opportunity to witness the stunning full bloom of P. gueilinensis on the karst hillsides by the Lijiang River. It's truly beautiful.
