The Qinling-Daba Mountains span subtropical and warm temperate zones and are one of the most remarkable biodiversity hotspots in China. Establishing a complete checklist of seed plants organized by nature reserves in the Qinling-Daba Mountains and adjacent areas is an important basis for managing and utilizing plant resources. First, we collected seed plant species data from published checklists representing 58 nature reserves in the Qinling-Daba Mountains and adjacent areas; second, we comprehensively and systematically sorted and integrated these data; third, we proofread and revised the data with the help of the R language and <i>Flora of China dataset </i>; and finally, we set up a seed plant database containing 96148 records, including the name, order, family, genus, life form, and endemism of each species for the entirety of the Qinling-Daba Mountains. The database contains 9491 species of seed plants belonging to 1729 genera, 211 families, and 59 orders, accounting for 39% of China’s seed plants.<br>
