Abstract

This study was conducted to record and identify the types of landscape plants found in office areas on Jl. Sam Ratulangi, Jl. R.A. Kartini, and Jl. Prof. Moh. Yamin, Palu City, Central Sulawesi. The method used was an exploratory method through comprehensive observation of the area, accompanied by image documentation and the creation of a herbarium collection. To determine the scientific names of the plants, identification was based on morphological characteristics. The results of the study showed that there were 124 types of landscape plants belonging to 33 families and 116 genera. The most commonly found family was Araceae with 17 species, followed by Asparagaceae (16 species) and Apocynaceae with 13 species. Based on their habit type, landscape plants consist of herbs, shrubs, trees, small trees, and vines, while based on conservation status assessment, most species are classified as “Not Evaluated (NE)” and “Least Concern (LC)”, with a few others classified as “Vulnerable”, ‘Endangered’, and “Critically Endangered”. The landscape plants found are native to various regions such as tropical America, Africa, East Asia, the Pacific, and Australia. Overall, this study reveals that office areas in Palu City have high landscape plant diversity and are adaptive to local climatic conditions..
