The WGSRPD places the flora of the rest of Asia into Category:Flora of temperate Asia (Asia-Temperate).

Higher taxa are included only if endemic.
An area of tropical monsoon climate (occasionally known as a sub-equatorial, tropical wet climate or a tropical monsoon and trade-wind littoral climate) is a tropical climate subtype that corresponds to the Köppen climate classification category Am. Tropical monsoon climates have monthly mean temperatures above 18 °C (64 °F) in every month ...
The climate of Asia is dry across its southwestern region. Some of the largest daily temperature ranges on Earth occur in the western part of Asia. The monsoon circulation dominates across the southern and eastern regions, due to the Himalayas forcing the formation of a thermal low which draws in moisture during the summer. The southwestern ...
Seasonal (mixed) tropical forests can be found in many parts of the tropical zone, with examples found in: In the Asia-Pacific region: seasonal forests predominate across large areas of the Eastern Java, Wallacea, Indian subcontinent and Indochina. Eastern Java monsoon forests; Wallacea Forest; Brahmaputra Valley semi-evergreen forests
In tropical Asia, the Himalayas are crucial to the provision of water during the continental monsoon season in Asia. [1] [2] Augmented temperatures and seasonal variability could cause a backdrop of glaciers and increasing danger from glacial lake outburst floods. Then, a diminution of average flow of snow-fed rivers, mixed with an increase in ...
The Andaman and Nicobar islands have tropical evergreen forests and tropical semi-evergreen forests as well as tropical monsoon forests. [4] The dominant species of Keruing wood is Dipterocarpus grandiflorus in hilly areas, while Dipterocarpus kerrii is dominant on some islands in the southern parts of the archipelago .
Note: The continent of Asia is not a geographical unit employed in the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. The following categories should be used instead where the information is available: Category:Flora of temperate Asia; Category:Flora of tropical Asia
