According to this evaluation system, 32 species of plants, such as Glehnia littoralis, Scutellaria strigillosa, Peucedanum japonicum, ect., most of which are seaside herbaceous plants with high saline-alkaline tolerance and have higher ornamental values, were attributed to the first level, 33 species of plants included Asplenium castaneo-viride, Thellungiella salsuginea, Cyrtomium falcatum, ect., and 43 species Elsholtzia splendens, Allium thunbergii, Liliumbrow nii, etc. belonged to second and third level respectively.
