菊花

China ranks first in the world for the number of species of chrysanthemum. Thirty-five varieties of chrysanthemum were recorded in “A Manual of Chrysanthemum,” written by Liu Meng of the Song Dynasty (960 A.D.-1279 A.D.), who pointed out that variation led to more biological species. 中國菊花品種居世界第一。 公元10世紀時，宋朝劉蒙所著《菊譜》中指出，變異可形成生物的新類型，記有35種菊花品種。
