Acleisanthes Acleisanthes is a genus of flowering plants in the "Bougainvillea" family, Nyctaginaceae. There are currently 16 species. The generic name is derived from the Greek words ακλειοτος ("akleistos"), meaning "not closed," and ανθος ("anthos"), meaning "flower." Plants of this genus are known commonly as trumpets due to the elongated, open-ended shape of their flowers. These are arid-adapted perennials with thick taproots which are usually compact and low to the ground or slightly ascending. An individual plant may have cleistogamous (unopening and self-pollinating) flowers as well as opening flowers which are usually nocturnal as a water-saving adaptation and are pollinated by night-flying or crepuscular insects such as hawkmoths. Flowers are usually white, sometimes yellow. These plants are native to the Chihuahuan and Sonoran Deserts of Mexico and the United States.

Celastrus scandens Celastrus scandens, commonly called American bittersweet or bittersweet, is a species of "Celastrus" that blooms mostly in June and is commonly found on rich, well-drained soils of woodlands. It is a sturdy perennial vine that may have twining, woody stems that are 30 ft or longer and an inch or more thick at the base. The stems are yellowish-green to brown and wind around other vegetation, sometimes killing saplings by restricting further growth. It has tiny, scentless flowers at the tips of the branches. It has colorful, orange fruits that are the size of a pea. These fruits are poisonous to humans when ingested, but are favorites of birds. "C. scandens" roots were used by Native Americans and pioneers to induce vomiting, to treat venereal disease, and to treat symptoms of tuberculosis.

Coleus Coleus is a former genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. In recent classifications, the genus is no longer recognized, and the formerly included species are instead placed in the genera "Plectranthus" and "Solenostemon". Because the type species, Coleus amboinicus ("Plectranthus amboinicus") is now placed in "Plectranthus", "Coleus" is regarded as a synonym of "Plectranthus". The term "coleus" is often used as a common name for species formerly placed in the genus "Coleus" that are cultivated as ornamental plants, particularly Coleus blumei ("Plectranthus scutellarioides"), which is popular as a garden plant for its brightly colored foliage.

Nothofagus Nothofagus, also known as the southern beeches, is a genus of 43 species of trees and shrubs native to the Southern Hemisphere in southern South America (Chile, Argentina) and Australasia (east and southeast Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and New Caledonia). The species are ecological dominants in many temperate forests in these regions. Some species are reportedly naturalised in Germany and Great Britain. The genus has a rich fossil record of leaves, cupules and pollen, with fossils extending into the late Cretaceous and occurring in Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and South America. In the past, they were included in the family Fagaceae, but genetic tests revealed them to be genetically distinct, and they are now included in their own family, the Nothofagaceae (literally meaning "false beeches" or "bastard beeches").
