Abstract
⺠Mainland China and adjacent areas harbor the world's most diverse temperate flora. ⺠We review the phylogeographic literature on this flora for the first time. ⺠Studies generally reveal strong genetic imprints of Quaternary climate and environmental change. ⺠This challenges the oft-stated view of East Asia as a glacial sanctuary for temperate plants.
