Wuyi Mountain, located in the north of Fujian Province, China, is renowned for its abundant medicinal plant resources. In July 2014, the 8th (second team) of Shenyang Pharmaceutical University’s Chinese Medicine Resources Scientific Expedition Team conducted field investigation in the area. Through specimen collection and extensive literature review, the team identified and analyzed 223 vascular plant species from 175 genera and 85 families. The most dominant families were Compositae and Rosaceae, and perennial herbs were the predominant species, accounting for 44.39% of the total species identified. Notably, we documented five precious and rare medicinal plants unique to Wuyi Mountain. This study updates the database of plant resources and diversity in the region, providing a valuable reference for future studies. Finally, we put forward some suggestions to enhance the conservation and sustainable utilization of Wuyi Mountain’s plant resources.
