Abstract: The Chaqia-Gonghe Basin and its contiguous zone is situated in eastern Qinghai of China, between latitude 34°45′- 37°00′N and longitude 98°45′- 101°30′E . Ranging from 2 800m to 5 305 m in altitude, the total area is about 38 300km2 . Its climate is continental or plateau-continental one . There are 854 species of native seed plants belonging to 59 families and 277 genera there , which occupied 37. 37% of the total species, 54 . 53% of the total genera and 65. 56% of the total families in Qinghai respectively . The floristic characteristics of the native seed plants are as follows : ( 1) Number of species and woody ones there are poor . (2) At generic level, the flora is temperate in nature, dominated by north temperate elements especially the typical elements from the warm and cold zone of Eurasia , but also with some elements of warm, cold warm and alpine ones . (3 ) The area is a margin of distribution for many species or genera especially for tropical ones, and thus , the flora of the area is clearly marginal in nature . (4) Floristic-geographically , it is a converged and transitional region for the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau Alpine Flora , Loess Plateau Warm Flora , as well as East Asia Alpine Desert Flora. (5 ) It is a part of the Tangute Flora . (6 ) It is a key area to divide the subregions in the flora of Qinghai on the Tangute Area .

摘要： 茶卡- 共和盆地及其毗邻地区位于青海省的东部, 约处于北纬34°45′～ 37°00′, 东经98°45′～ 101°30′。海拔2 800～5 305 m, 面积约38 300 km2 , 属于高原大陆性气候类型。本区共有野生种子植物59 科、277 属、854 种。分别占青海省总科数的65 . 56%、总属数的54 .53%、总种数的37 . 37%。区系特征如下:1、种类相对较贫乏, 木本更贫乏。2、就属的层面而言, 本区属于以北温带成分, 特别是欧亚大陆温、寒地带典型成分为优势的, 兼具旱生温性、耐寒温性和高寒类型的温带区系性质。3、许多种、属和热带类
型均以本区为边缘分布区, 因而区系的边缘性质明显。4、为青藏高原高寒区系、黄土高原温性( 草原)植物区系和亚洲东部荒漠区系在我国的交汇过渡区, 区系的过渡性质明显。5、是青藏高原植物亚区唐古特地区的一部分。6、是青海植物区系或“唐古特植物地区”划分植物亚地区的关键区域。
