## Abstract
Abstract In the city of Makassar, Polyalthea Longifolia plant is used as one of the plants absorbing CO 2 . Towering form, leaves lush and green despite the dry season it is interesting to be used as an ornamental plant roadside. CO 2 is one of the greenhouse gases, and it is the main element of the photosynthesis process, that is the reason we use plants as a tool to reduce air pollution. The beauty of Polyalthea Logifolia plant as an ornamental plant roadside and as an absorber CO 2 are the main reasons to put it along the highway, but we observed the ability of leaf in absorbing CO 2 was only less than 1 %.
