Using Indigenous Plant Species Ranging on The Campus Area of Omer Halisdemir University in Landscape Design Works

Selection of plant material for landscape architecture is highly substantial. Use of species from indigenous vegetation increases chances of success in applications being an economic approach and providing the integrity of the city with its neighborhood. A previous study on flora on the campus of ？mer Halisdemir University has shown that 405 taxa from 74 families and 262 genus exhibited indigenous distribution. In this study, some of the indigenous plant species on the campus were evaluated from ecological, aesthetical and functional points of view of and 14 of them were projected to be eligible to be used in landscape areas. specified species were given below along with their Latin and Turkish names with their biological, ecological characteristics and photographs. Since they naturally range within circumstances of Ni？de, their habitats were also studied and samples of landscape designs with these species were drafted/presented, prepared. Specified species are Butomus umbellatus L., Colchicum triphyllum G. Kunze, Crocus chrysanthus (Herb.) Herb., Cyperus longus L., Gladiolus atroviolaceus Boiss., Iris orientallis Mill., Juncus articulatus L., Juncus conglomeratus L., Lamium orientale (Fisch. & C.A. Mey.) E.H.L. Krause, Phlomis armeniaca Wild., Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trinex Steud., Tulipa humilis Herb., Typha angustifolia L. and Zygophyllum fabago L
