Abstract:A survey of spontaneous plant communities in 6 wetland parks in Guangzhou was conducted by using a sample method to analyze species composition, important value, and potential for landscape application. The results show that there are 77 species belonging to 72 genera and 42 families, among which Compositae,Gramineae, and Umbelliferae are dominant families. The life forms are mainly perennial herbs, and the dominant species are Arundo donax,Hydrocotyle verticillata, Cyperus papyrus, Pontederia cordata, and Thalia dealbata. Their ornamental characteristics are mainly fowering species with bright colors and interests. Finally, this study recommends 15 spontaneous vegetation species with potential landscape use, and the confguration requires suitable planting and spatial hierarchy.
