Abstract

This study conducts investigations on the plants and plant landscaping in the two regions - Huangxing Commercial Pedestrian Street and Furong Road, which are representative and with relative concentration of population flow and traffic flow. The statistics results show that there are a total of 21 families and 25 species of ornamental plants applied in Huangxing Pedestrian Street, of which arbors and shrubs are widely used with 11 species of arbors, and 11 species of small arbors and shrubs; in terms of plant families, plants from Oleaceae, Pinaceae and Celastraceae families are more frequently used. There are a total of 12 families and 15 species of ornamental plants applied in the Furong Road, of which shrubs are more extensively used with 10 species; in terms of plant family and genera, plants from Oleaceae, Rosaceae and Theaceae families are more frequently used. On this basis, and combining with the different plant combinations and collocations, this paper conducts comparative analysis on the regional landscape arrangement modes and features, and points out the shortcomings of plant species richness and landscape levels in the plant landscapes of the two regions.
