Further , the genera of pantropics , old world tropics , tropical Asia to tropical Australasia take up 46.52%,16.46% and 12.03% of total genera respectively . The species of tropical Asia distribution account for 35. 52%, the ones of tropical Asia to tropical Australasia 15. 88%, the ones of pantropics 13. 42% etc. The species endemic to Hainan in the sandy coastal region are very poor ,accout for 5.24% of the total species in the area .
