Abstract: This comprehensive dataset on the number of plant species, genera, and families in 383 national nature reserves in China has been compiled based on the available literature. Heilongjiang Province and the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have the highest number of nature reserves. Species richness is relatively high in the Jinfoshan, Dabashan, Wenshan, Hupingshan, and Shennongjia Nature Reserves. This dataset provides important baseline information on plant species richness coupling with genus and family numbers in Chinese national nature reserves and should help researchers and environmentalists understand the dynamic species changes in various nature reserves. This detailed and reliable information may serve as the foundation for future plant research in Chinese nature reserves and play a positive role in promoting more effective natural protection, biological distribution, and biodiversity conservation in these areas.
