Zhang Qixiang(Department of Landscape Architecture, BFU)
On the basis of investigation in 15 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions from 1982 to 1988, the author found that there were 16 crape-myrtle species native to China and 2 introduced from southeast Asia.Among the cultivated species, about 50 cultivars in various colours and flower forms were included. All the cultivars are classified into 4 series, 9 groups and 18 forms,being the skeleton of the cultivar resources of crape-myrtle in China. Some notes on interesting methods for training and shaping crape-myrtles used in park and gardens are given.
