The mountain is 10 km. from the cast to the west and 50 km. from the south to the north. The highest peak is 4122 m above sea level and the relative altitude is 1000-2500 m. Cangshan is one of the younger mountains formed during the upheaval at the Quaternary Period.

摘要: 对点苍山地区的植物采集始于19世纪后期,最早有法国人J.M.Delavay, 于1883—1890年间在大理王丽江等地进行了大规模的采集。后有英国人G.Forrest于1904一1931年及 F.Kingdon Ward于1911—1922年来云南大量采集期间都曾涉足过大理。因而以苍山为模式产地发表的植物种类是不少的。我国老一辈植物学家钟观光(1919)、蒋英(1930)、陈谋和吴中伦(1933—34)、蔡希陶(1933)、王启无(1935)、吴温珍、杨承元、吴征镒(1938)、秦仁昌(1940)、刘慎谔(1940)、冯国楣等都曾在苍山或大理地区做过广泛的调查采集。解放以来,我所又数次到过该地区进行调查工作。
