记者 陈玺撼 在城市里没有存在感的野花野草，在丰富生物多样性上的作用不容小觑。上海将生态价值放到首 位，给乡土植物留出空间。记者从上海绿化管理部门了解到，上海已建立乡土草本植物的扩繁基地，目 前已自主培育69种"土著"，等到量产形成规模后，向全市公园绿地输送。 "要自己动手，是因为许多乡土草本植物没有市场，没有商品化规模化生产。"上海市园林科学规划 研究院高级工程师宋晴以"活血丹"举例，这是一种优良的地被观赏植物，叶子是心形或肾形，花是淡蓝 紫色至紫色，带有深紫色的斑点，可爱别致，它还能少晒太阳，在荫蔽、湿润的环境中生存。 举个例子，蛇莓、繁缕、活血丹、委陵菜等是一个队伍里的成员，这支队伍的名字叫"耐荫队"，能 够派遣到林下空间等光照较少的地方。 "要组队的话，成员的'习性'要相近，能够和谐相处，而不是互抢营养。"宋晴表示，"颜值"也是组 队的重要参考标准，单个种类的野花野草"打"不过商品化植物，所以更要"抱团"，形成组合后，在景观 效果上构建优势，否则可能连公园的大门都进不去。在"耐荫队"里，有鲜红色果实的蛇莓就是颜值担 当，在夏天多数竞争对手蔫巴巴的时候抓人眼球。 据透露，上海目前已建立5个乡土草本植物群 ...
