The Research of Ornamentally-Medicinally Useful Members of Crassulaceae
D .C Family Spread in Caucasus Minor
Abstract
Irreplaceable ornamental plants in urbanization are used for aesthetic purposes in modern time. In connection with this, it is preferred to use ornamental plants in habitats and parks, gardens, streets, shopping centers, indoor and outdoor places. However, it is an important issue to choose and use the right ornamental plants in landscaping. Recently the succulents have become popular as the pot plants among the decoration plants. The tendency in the areas requiring less water and low maintenance increases the interest to succulents because of irrigation water limits and high costs. Succulents are the best choice for arid environments because they can tolerate drought for a long time. Moreover, these plants have interesting ornamental features. From this point of view the species of Crassulaceae family have more significance in decoration. In the framework of conducting research, the qualities of the Crassulaceae family species which naturally spread in Caucasus Minor are investigated as the medicinal and ornamental plants.
