This book, the product of nearly a decade of extensive field surveys and photography in East China, along with the review of earlier specimens and the integration of digital herbarium records, is comprehensive. It comprehensively covers 592 species of lycophytes and ferns from East China, representing 36 families, 118 genera, and 118 genera. The families are arranged according to PPG1 (2016), with genera within families, species within genera, and infraspecifics arranged in Latin order, reflecting the latest research findings. The book features approximately 470 color photographs, along with accompanying text and illustrations, systematically cataloging the lycophytes and ferns of the region. Its highlight lies in its summary of key species identification features, derived from years of field experience and species identification. Its practicality is a key innovation that distinguishes it from other atlases.
