| Abstract/Contents: | "Indigofera spicata, Desmodium triflora and Ficus tokoua [tikoua] are three kinds of native ground cover plants which distribute in tropical areas of southern Yunnan. In this paper, a preliminary research were carried out on these three species' phonological phases observation, green periods observation, turf formation factor measurement, regrowth ability measurement, leaf area index measurement, stem growth measurement, resistence [resistance] and tolerance ability measurement. The results are shown as follows: they are in bloom in the local raining season while few species bloom in this season; all of their green periods last more than 304 d; they develop faster in raining season than in dry season. I. spicata establishes in 62 d with a height of 12 cm, D. triflorum in 28 d with a height of 1.5 cm, F. tikoua in near 3 months with a height of less than 30 cm. I. spicata and D. triflorum can recover in 10 d after mowing, while F. tikoua is in about 30 d. Their leaf area index is 4.69, 2.52, 1.69 respectively. They thrive well and develop many branches. They show good resistance and tolerance ability especially heat resistance and drought tolerance. Finally, the research indicates that all of the three species have a bright future in landscape application." |
