Abstract: The study was carried out in the central core landscape area of Liberation Park in Wuhan using the routine sampling method of an ecological community.The typical plant community structure,the plant species diversity and the plant resources in the central part of the park were studied.It provided the background information and the reference basis for the plant allocation in the parks in the future.The results showed that there were 67 species of plants belonging to 67 genera and 48 families in 5 plots.The richness of the arbor layer was highest in Z2 plot.The shrub layer was lowest in general,and the herb layer was more uniform in 5 plots.The Shannon-Wiener index,Simpson index,and Pielou index all showed that herb layer>arbor layer>shrub layer.It included 14 nectar plants,47 medicinal plants,12 oil plants,13 timber plants,6 fibrous plants,and 62 ornamental plants.
