Native plants are the most important living material in landscape planning. However, the use of wild trees, shrubs and herbaceous plant species in landscape design is uncommon in Turkey. This study was carried out to identify native plant species of interests in the landscape planning of roadside banks. Between May 2005 and September 2006, 23 locations along the Erzurum-Uzundere state highway, eastern Anatolia, at altitudes from 875 to 2119 m, were studied using in situ plant surveys, floristic plant analyses and species sampling. This resulted in identification of 282 plant species in 49 families, which, based on their aesthetic and functional characteristics, were determined to be important in landscape planning.
