Plant Taxonomy:

This section occupies the central part of the Garden. The plots group species of flora according to the Engler taxonomical system, which is based on affinity. Trees and shrubs, perennial and annual plants, cryptogamic and flowering ones are grown here. Among the cryptogamic species the Royal and Ostrich Ferns capture attention. The most interesting gymnosperms are the following conifers: the Swamp Cypress, Mount Atlas Cedar, Japanese Cedar, Mammoth Tree, and the deciduous Maidenhair Tree. Of the monocotyledonous cryptogamic plants the families Liliaceae, Iridaceae and Amarillidaceae, and beautiful grasses, particularly Arudinaria as well as Zebra, Spear and Pampa Grasses, are worthy of notice.

The dicotyledonous cryptogams are represented by species of the families Ranunculaceae, Malvaceae, Papaveraceae, Fabaceae, Rosaceae, Compositae, Labiatae and others. The genus Rhododendron is represented in the native flora by a single species, the Pontic Azalea, which flourishes in abundance at the edge of the pond
