Taro Taro ( ) commonly refers to the plant "Colocasia esculenta", the most widely cultivated species of several plants in the Araceae family which are used as vegetables for their corms, leaves, and petioles. Thus, this article describes the "dasheen" form of taro; another variety of taro is known as eddoe or "Colocasia antiquorum". Other species of taro include giant taro ("Alocasia macrorrhizos"), swamp taro ("Cyrtosperma merkusii"), and arrowleaf elephant's ear ("Xanthosoma sagittifolium").

Pinus bungeana Pinus bungeana (English: Bunge's pine or lacebark pine or white-barked pine; Chinese: 白皮松 Japanese: シロマツ, Hangul: 백송 ; RR: "baeksong " ) is a pine tree native to northeastern and central China. It is a slow-growing tree that can grow to heights of 15–25m and is frost hardy down to below -26 °C. Its smooth, grey-green bark gradually sheds in round scales to reveal patches of pale yellow, which turn olive-brown, red and purple on exposure to light.

Abies recurvata Abies recurvata is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found only in China. "Abies recurvata" is a distinct fir species usually recognized by the needles on its leaders mostly recurved or reflexed. It occurs in the drier, colder northern regions of central China in Sichuan and Gansu provinces at elevations between 2300 and 3600 m, usually on windy cliffs or in deep river valleys. Sometimes, however, also appears in dry low scrub on exposed mountain slopes. The most typical associated conifer species include "Juniperus convallium", "Juniperus formosana" var. "mairei", "Juniperus squamata" var. "fargesii", "Juniperus tibetica", "Picea asperata", and "Picea wilsonii". "Abies recurvata" is a small to medium-sized tree mostly with conical crown, occasionally reaching a height of 40 m, and a trunk diameter of 0.8 m . It has rather smooth gray or rusty brown bark, at first shedding in thin plates, becoming grayish-brown and detaching in thick plates. The branchlets are grayish-white or light yellow with 1.2 - long needles horizontally outspreading on shade branches, radially outspreading on fertile branches; often thick and recurved, green to gray above and densely set with stoma-lines, with 2 light grayish-green stomatal bands below. "Abies recurvata" has 4 – long ovoid or cylindrical-ovoid, gray- or purplish blue cones; the bracts are somewhat shorter than the cone-scales, included or with slightly exposed tips.

Podzol In soil science, podzols (known as spodosols in China and the United States of America and podosols in Australia) are the typical soils of coniferous, or boreal forests. They are also the typical soils of eucalypt forests and heathlands in southern Australia, while in Western Europe podzols develop on heathland, which is often a construct of human interference through grazing and burning. Many podzols in this region may have developed over the past 3000 years in response to vegetation and climatic changes. In some British moorlands with podzolic soils there are brown earths preserved under Bronze Age barrows (Dimbleby, 1962).

Furtadoa Furtadoa is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. It consists of only two species: "F. mixta" and "F. sumatrensis". The genus was described in 1981 by Mitsuru Hotta with one species endemic on Sumatra. In 1985 Hotta transferred a preexisting species of "Homalomena" (the West Malaysian "H. mixtum" Ridl.) to "Furtadoa". Both described species of "Furtadoa" have stems that creep, and root along their length (a very rare condition in related "Homalomena"), and leathery elliptical leaves. The inflorescence is carried on a long peduncle, with the spathes unconstricted, and either green, reddish brown, or purple-grey. The spadix is unique by having the male flowers (except for those at the tip of the spadix) each associated with a sterile female flower (a pistillode) in addition to each fertile female flower being associated with a sterile male flower (staminode).

Abies cilicica Abies cilicica, commonly known as Cilician fir or Taurus fir, is a species of conifer in the Pinaceae family. It is found in Lebanon, Syria, and Turkey. "Abies cilicica" and "Cedrus libani", together with "Acer hyrcanum" subsp. "Tauricolum" and "Sorbus torminalis" subsp. "Orientalis", are the predominant trees in the Abeti-Cedrion forests of the Middle and Eastern Taurus Mountains of Turkey. These forests occur between 800 and 2100 meters elevation. Over 5000 years of logging, burning, and grazing have reduced these forests to enclaves.

Torreya grandis Torreya grandis ((pinyin=Xiāngfěi) is a species of conifer in either the family Taxaceae, or Cephalotaxaceae. "T. grandis" is a large tree that can attain height of 25 m , and possibly as high as 39 m . "T. grandis" is endemic to eastern and south-eastern China; it is found in the coastal provinces Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, as well as in Anhui, Guizhou, Hunan, and Jiangxi inland. Its natural habitat are mountains and open valleys, often by streams, between 200 - ASL. One common name is Chinese nutmeg yew (although it is not related to nutmeg, and the true yews belong to the genus "Taxus"), which refers to its edible seeds that superficially resemble nutmeg () and its yew-like foliage. The seeds can be pressed for oil. The wood is used in construction and furniture. "T. grandis" is used as an ornamental tree in Europe and North America.

Piloporia Piloporia is a genus of two species of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Tuomo Niemelä in 1982, with "P. sajanensis" as the type species. The Indian species "P. indica" was added to the genus in 1988. "P. sajanensis" is found in Asia and Europe. In Asia, it is usually recorded on spruce, fir, and larch, while in Europe it is commonly found on spruce, but also on pine. "Piloporia" species cause a white rot in conifers and hardwoods.
