Abstract: A field survey and a questionnaire were made to investigate and analyze the species of aromatic plants in the major urban parks in Haikou City,Hainan Province. The investigations found that there are 100 aromatic plants in the green land of the urban parks in Haikou,belonging to 84 genera and 44 families. The major plant species belong to the families Myrtaceae,Apocynaceae,Magnoliaceae and Oleaceae. These aromatic plants grow as avenue trees,landscape trees,decorated hedge shrubs,flower plants,landscape forest,and vertical greening. There are some problems arising from he landscape application of the aromatic plants,such as low species diversity,imbalance of species structure,and improper management. In this context some suggestions concerning the introduction,selection and planting of aromatic plant species in urban parks in Haikou are put forward based on the analysis.
