Abstract: Different kinds of tropical vegetations and evergreen broad-leafed forests are distributed over the vast region of southern China, in which there occur abundant fungi. Nearly 1200 genera and over 5000 species of higher fungi, including Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, have been reported from the region. Based on reliable records and own experiences of the authors, tropical affinities of the higher fungi there were analysed.

摘要： 中国南部，特别是北回归线以南的地区，高等真菌区系与世界热带真菌区系有着广泛的联系。该地区高等真菌具有明显的热带性质，主要有泛热带成分、热带亚洲-热带非洲和热带亚洲的成分，尽管在该区高等真菌区系中也有相当比重的温带成分。该区系中某些属种可能有古南大陆起源的背景，另一些区系成分与热带亚洲的有密切的亲缘关系。
