China is one of the countries having the richest diversity of bryophytes in the world, with about 3,000 taxa, accounting for 15% of the world species. Bryophytes are the earliest terrestrial plants, minute in size, with simple structures and no vascular tissues, they are non-flowering, and rely on spores for sexual reproduction. Bryophytes are the pioneers of nature and play an important role in maintaining water balance and mitigating the greenhouse effect. The Garden set up the first bryophyte nursery in China in 2009, introducing and conserving to date about 90 species, including Leucobryum bowringii, Rhodobryum giganteum, and Pyrrhobryum dozyanum, and utilizing some of them in gardening. The main nursery venue is the Moss Shady House at the Conservation Center. There are two additional small display areas in the Shade Garden and Youxi Valley.
