- A total of 120 samples (300 specimens keep in HN) have been collected in 2 provinces (Lao Cai and Lai Chau) in the Northwest of our country, including 120 species of 102 genera and 62 families of plants. Of the 120 plant samples collected, there are 35 vascular plant species that need to be preserved according to the evaluation criteria of the Vietnam Red Book (2007), Decree No. 06/2019 / ND-CP of the Government. (2019), IUCN red list (2017) .

From the results of the thesis is a scientific basis for the Northwest provinces to use to develop plans, conservation planning, promote and rational use of biological resources for economic development- society in general and tourism development in particular. Research results and scientific proposals have contributed to providing data on biodiversity and biodiversity protection and sustainable use of biological resources.

The ecosystem and composition of vascular flora species in the Hoang Lien Son range are very biodiversity and plentiful, but the research on taxonomy is not focused, so it is recommended to continue to research about ecology and taxonomy in neighboring areas to have a complete overview of ecosystem diversity and plant species composition, contribute to building database for conservation research and use them in the future.
