Pisonia Pisonia is a genus of flowering plants in the four o'clock flower family, Nyctaginaceae. It was named for Dutch physician and naturalist Willem Piso (1611–1678). Certain species in this genus are known as catchbirdtrees, birdcatcher trees or birdlime trees because their sticky seeds reportedly trap small birds. These sticky seeds are postulated to be an adaptation of some island species to ensure the dispersal of seeds between islands by attaching them to birds. These island species include "P. brunoniana" of Australasia and Polynesia and "P. umbellifera", which is widespread in the tropical Indo-Pacific region.

Banksia hookeriana Banksia hookeriana, commonly known as Hooker's banksia, is a species of shrub of the genus "Banksia" in the family Proteaceae. It is native to the southwest of Western Australia and can reach up to 4 m high and 3 m wide. This species has long narrow serrated leaves and large, bright flower spikes, initially white before opening to a bright orange that appear over the cooler months. The flowers are pollinated by honeyeaters. The ageing flower spikes develop woody seed pods known as follicles. "B. hookeriana" is serotinous — large numbers of seeds are stored in the plant canopy for years until the plants are burnt by bushfire.

Vachellia collinsii Vachellia collinsii is a species of flowering plant. It grows in secondary succession in seasonally dry ecosystems in southern Central America, where it exhibits a symbiotic relationship with several species of ant ("Pseudomyrmex spinicola", "Pseudomyrmex ferruginea"). The ant-"Vachellia" system involving this species has been studied by ecologists like Daniel Janzen in Palo Verde National Park and Santa Rosa National Park, both in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. The ants chew holes in the tips of the hollow stipular thorns, known as domatia, so that they can enter, and create their colony inside. A single ant colony may span several "V. collinsii" trees.
