- Abstract
To study the basic situation of application of local landscape plants in Tibet, local landscape plants in Tibet was investigated firstly by using "biological five-point method". The results show that 213 species (including breed) of local landscape plants were applied in Tibet, belonging to 148 genera and 66 families. In the arbor layer; shrub layer and herbaceous layer, the importance of Picca ltiriangensis Pritz. var. likiangensis Cheng et L. K. Fu, Platycladus orientalis Franco cv: Sieboldii, and Poa patensis L. were the highest, namely 43.050,19.696 and 45.950. Rosaceae, Salicaceae, Fabaceae, Poaceae, Pinaceae, Asteraceae, and Cupressaceae were applied mostly, including 25,16,12,11,10,9 and 8 species of plants, accounting for 11.73%, 7.51%, 5.63%, 5.16%, 4.69%, 423% and 3.76% of the investigated plants respectively. Based on this, 11 species of good local landscape plants in Tibet were selected to analyze their application potential in gardens. Rational suggestions about the development and utilization of local landscape plants in Tibet were proposed finally.
