The city of Yamoussoukro is full of many green spaces.
Ranging from roadsides trees to abandoned spaces through private gardens, we
are witnessing a massive and uncontrolled introduction of various ornamental
plants. Thus, the general objective of
this study is to evaluate its diversity. The plant species were identified
using the itinerant method. The results obtained showed that the green spaces
of the city of Yamoussoukro are rich in 212 ornamental plants, most of which
are exotic (65%). Tree species are the most numerous (75%). Among the
ornamental species planted, there are 13 invasive species of which the majority
(10) is exotic. This presented the situation of planted ornamental species and
drew attention to the introduction of invasive ornamental species that can
modify local biodiversity.
