Contributionsedit
Wang was engaged in the taxonomic research of Ranunculaceae, Urticaceae, Boraginaceae, Cichoriaceae and other families, and had found 28 new genera and about 1370 new species; According to the evolutionary trends revealed by him, the taxonomic systems of Delphinium, Thalictrum, Adonis, Clematis, Stephania, Boehmeria, Epinephelus and Cichorium were revised and a taxonomic system was established for the three genera: Sarcandra, Microporus, and Epinephelus. He proposed 16 discontinuous distributed specimens and 3 migration routes of East Asian flora, which is a comprehensive study on the classification of Ranunculaceae, Gesneriaceae, Urticaceae and other taxa. Academician Wang Wencai took the lead in organizing the compilation of the "Illustrated Book of Higher Plants of China" and was also one of the main contributors to the "Flora of China". He made important contributions to understanding the status of China's plant resources and promoting the development of my country's agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry.[2][1]
Prof. Wang Wencai devoted special efforts to the development of medicinal plant taxonomy. In the initial stage of the development of medicinal botany, he guided and trained the first batch of medicinal plant taxonomists, personally identified a large number of specimens from the third national census of Chinese herbal medicine resources, and reviewed and approved the "China Traditional Chinese Medicine Resources" and "Chinese Medicinal Materials". "Resource Atlas" and other works, guided the compilation of the first postgraduate textbook on medicinal plant taxonomy, and as the director of the editorial board played a key role in the compilation of "Chinese Medicinal Flora" and how to integrate it with the international plant classification system.
Professor Ai Tiemin, honorary director of the Plants and Phytomedicine Professional Committee, expressed his gratitude to Prof Wang
