Banksiamyces Banksiamyces is a genus of fungi in the order Helotiales, with a tentative placement in the family Helotiaceae. The genus contains four species, which grow on the seed follicles of the dead infructescences or "cones" of various species of "Banksia", a genus in the plant family Proteaceae endemic to Australia. Fruit bodies of the fungus appear as small (typically less than 10 mm diameter), shallow dark cups on the follicles of the "Banksia" fruit. The edges of dry fruit bodies fold inwards, appearing like narrow slits. The first specimens of "Banksiamyces", known then as "Tympanis toomansis", were described in 1887. Specimens continued to be collected occasionally for almost 100 years before becoming examined more critically in the early 1980s, leading to the creation of a new genus to contain what was determined to be three distinct species, "B. katerinae", "B. macrocarpus", and "B. toomansis". A fourth species, "B. maccannii", was added in 1984.

Picramniaceae Picramniceae is a small, mainly neotropical family of three genera "Alvaradoa", "Nothotalisia" and "Picramnia". The family is the only member of the order Picramniales. Members of the family were formerly placed in the family Simaroubaceae or misidentified as species in the family Sapindaceae, in the order Sapindales. The most recent standard classification of the Angiosperms (the APG III system) distinguishes it as a separate family and order. It belongs to the malvids (eurosids II), one of the three groups that constitute the rosids. Picramniaceae include three genera with 49 known species.

Platydesma Platydesma is a genus of plants in family Rutaceae. Evidence from 2009 indicates that "Platydesma" is nested within the related genus "Melicope" and is sister to all Hawaiian "Melicope" species. And while "Melicope" species are dioecious (individual plants only bear either male or female flowers), the flowers of "Platydesma" are hermaphroditic, suggesting a rare evolutionary reversion away from dioecy in "Platydesma". While they have no medicinal purposes; the board of water supply states that they can be used for a shrub.

Erioderma Erioderma is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Pannariaceae. They are commonly called mouse ears or felt lichens, and are small, pale brown to olive-brown foliose cyanolichens with a fuzzy upper surface that have the cyanobacteria "Scytonema" as their photobiont. Most species are found in the tropics of Central and South America, although three species are found in coastal regions of North America where they generally grow on mossy branches in humid sites. All North American species are rare, and two of them, "Erioderma mollissimum" and "Erioderma pedicellatum", are listed as endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). "Erioderma pedicellatum" is also listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Species of "Erioderma" can resemble "Pannaria", "Leioderma", or small "Peltigera", but their fuzzy upper surface and lack of veins on their lower surface distinguishes them from these lichens.
