Many of these varieties have broad application prospects and market value. Each introduction of a landscape plant focuses on actual application landscape effects with photographs, supplemented by text that describes the Chinese name, common name, scientific name, family and morphology, distribution and habits, propagation and cultivation, and landscape uses. With images as the main focus and text as a complement, the book aims to provide readers with a fresh, three-dimensional introduction, making it easy for them to understand at a glance and achieve the goals of cognition and application. At the end of the book, there is a Latin name index and a Pinyin-ordered Chinese name index for convenient reference.
