SAVAIMINIŲ DEKORATYVIŲJŲ AUGALŲ PAPLITIMAS PIETŲ LIETUVOS ŽELDYNUOSE /

Native ornamental plants are rather rarely grown in flower gardens as most of them, though some of them are as nice as introduced ornamental plants. However, adaptability to local climatic conditions, their biological and ornamental characteristics make native ornamental plants possible to be grown in various flower gardens. Due to constant changes of point of wiew of the society to ecological problems, estimation of green plantations also changes. Unfortunately, in most South Lithuanian green plantations native ornamental plants are very rarely grown. They are on the verge of extinction in ornamental plantations. The aim was to estimate distribution of native ornamental plants and possibility of their using in South Lithuanian green plantations. To achieve the aim such tasks were solved: 1) to investigate the diversity of native ant introduced ornamental plants in South Lithuanian green plantations, 2) to reveal the most common native and introduced species of plants, 3) to estimate the peculiarities of usage of native ornamental plants in green plantations. The research was carried out in four localities of South Lithuania: Alytus, the towns of Pivašiūnai and Dusmenys and Dusmenėliai village. The following objects were selected for research: public flower gardens (10), housing estates (15), old graveyards (10), new graveyards (10), a graveyard of a little village (10 graves). Totally, 55 objects of green plantation were investigated. During investigation 95 species of plants were registered in all ornamental plantations. Among them 69 species were introduced and 26 species were native ornamental plants. Native ornamental plants comprise 28 % of species, whereas introduction plants make up 72 % of all registered species. Three most common native ornamental plant species grown in housing estates are: Matteucia struthiopteris, Convallaria majalis, Hepatica nobilis. Graves had two most widely cultivated native species of plants: Convallaria majalis and Jovibarba sobolifera. There was only one native species used in public green plantations of a town – Lysimachia nummularia.
