8 most common species：
Pseudolarix
Pseudolarix is a monotypic genus of coniferous trees in the pine family Pinaceae. It has a sole species. It is native to eastern China, occurring in small areas in the mountains of southern Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and eastern Sichuan. It is a deciduous coniferous tree reaching 30 to 40 m tall, with a broad conic crown. The leaves are bright green, with two glaucous stomatal bands on the underside. The cones are distinctive, superficially resembling a small globe artichoke, with pointed triangular scales; they mature about 7 months after pollination, when (like fir and cedar cones) they disintegrate to release the winged seeds.
Firs
A group of evergreen trees, firs are tall conifers that can grow as high as 76 m. They are easily recognized by the unusual way their slender, needle-sized leaves attach to each stem via a basal structure that looks like a small suction cup. The cones of firs are different than pine cones, as they stand erect rather than drooping and tend to be more slender than those of true pine trees.
Spruces
Spruces are a group of coniferous trees that are of great value to humans in many ways. The wood is used in everything from housing and frame construction to papermaking and crafting musical instruments. Most species grow in handsome, conical shapes, making them popular ornamentals. Many boreal and temperate high-altitude forests around the world are also comprised largely of spruces, making them tremendously ecologically important.
Larches
Larches shed their leaves annually in the fall, and their needles turn a golden yellow when this happens. Larches have coarse-grained and heavy wood, so it is popular in the shipping and construction industries; it has been used for telephone poles, timber, and railroad ties, among other creations.
Hemlocks
Hemlocks are a small group of coniferous trees that are both elegant and useful. These trees have a conical or irregular crown with a graceful drooping habit, making them attractive options to plant in backyards and gardens. The wood is used as wood pulp, which is necessary to make paper and cardboard products. The bark is used in tanning leather.
Keteleeria
Keteleeria are evergreen trees reaching 35 m tall. The leaves are flat, needle-like. The cones are erect. The genus is found in Asia.
Nothotsuga
Nothotsuga contains only one species, nothotsuga is an evergreen tree reaching 30 m tall. The leaves are flat, needle-like, 1.3 to 4 cm long and 1.02 to 2 mm broad, very similar to those of Tsuga. The cones are very similar to those of Keteleeria, but smaller, 2.5 to 5 cm long, erect, and mature in about 6–8 months after pollination. Nothotsuga contains only one species, which is found in southeastern China, in southern Fujian, northern Guangdong, northeast Guangxi, northeast Guizhou, and southwest Hunan.
Cedars
Cedars are a small but widely cultivated group of coniferous trees. Sporting beautiful foliage and bark, many species have been used as ornamentals in warm-temperate parks and gardens worldwide for centuries. Not only does the wood tend to boast both rich color and beautiful grain, but it also has bug-repellent properties. These traits have made the wood useful and valuable for millennia. For example, chests made from cedars have been used to store woolen goods since ancient times since the wood repels moths that feed on wool.

Pines
Pines
Pinus (the scientific name for true pines) is a well-known conifer genus whose wood is used extensively in the construction of homes, furniture, buildings, and other structures. Its commercial value exceeds many other types of timber. Turpentine and pine resin derived from pines are also valuable resources that are used throughout the construction and industrial fields.
Douglas firs
Douglas firs
Douglas firs are a group of coniferous trees that are both majestic and useful to humans. Many species grow to enormous sizes and are of great importance to the timber industry. The wood is used for all sorts of construction purposes, while immature trees of this genus are popular as Christmas trees. The U.S. state of Oregon has a douglas firs on the state flag.
Cathaya
Cathaya
Cathaya are tall-growing coniferous trees that are native only to China. Their common trait is that each tree produces both male and female cones. The small distribution of these plants and the fact that their wood is useful for different purposes has led some of the species to be classed as vulnerable.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
