Abstract: This paper summarizes the earlier works on the biological features of Glyptostrobus pensilis, including morphological character, internal structure of shoot apex, leaf, bark and wood, pollen and chromosome, development of male and female gametophyte, and embryo. Moreover, the geological distribution, ecological and phytocoenological characteristics are outlined. The reasons for making the plant to the threatend state are preliminarily analysed and effective measures of conservation are put forword as well.
