The villous Chinese honey locust (Gleditsia sinensis) is a unique flagship species in Hengshan Mountain. It was first discovered by botanists in 1954 and is listed as a national first-class key protected wild plant.

The local government has formulated a "one plant, one policy" protection scheme for nine wild villous Chinese honey locusts, Zhou said.
