Abstract: In order to strengthened biology experiment teaching of university, the biology experimental skills competition was held every two years since2010 inHubeiProvince. In the competition, botany skill, as a basic course, was one of competition items. The result of botany skills competition showed, the student mastered the basic skills in microscopy, dissection of flower structure, floral formula, biological plot, paraffin section and freehand section, the rate of score was more than 70%.The biological diagram drawing skills are relatively weak, the rate of score was less than 60%, especially in terms of plant retrieval table using, it serves to only 34%. Therefore, in the future, during experiment teaching, teacher should strengthen the training of the biological plot and to use plant retrieval table.

为进一步提高高校实践教学质量，推动生物学实验教学改革进程，不断强化实验教学在大学生创新能力培养中的作用，湖北省教育厅决定于2010年开始每两年举办一次全省高校大学生生物学实验技能大赛^[1]。2012年第二届湖北省高校大学生生物学实验技能大赛由华中农业大学承办^[2]。其中植物生物学作为单项竞赛项目，湖北省7所高校的9名在校大学生参加了本项竞赛，竞赛结果显示：学生在显微镜使用、花结构解剖、花程式、生物绘图、石蜡切片和徒手切片等基本操作比较熟练，得分率在70%以上，而生物简图绘制技能相对较弱，得分率不到60%，尤其在检索表的使用考点方面，得分率只有34%。现将本项竞赛的情况具体分析如下，以期对高校的植物学实验教学起到一定的指导和借鉴作用。
