Asarina Asarina is a flowering plant genus of only one species, Asarina procumbens, the trailing snapdragon, which is native to southern Europe. Originally placed in the Scrophulariaceae (figwort family), the genus has more recently been moved to the Plantaginaceae (plantain family). Species from North America formerly placed in the genus "Asarina" are now placed in "Holmgrenanthe", "Lophospermum", "Mabrya" and "Maurandya", as well as "Neogaerrhinum". "Asarina" is now regarded as exclusively an Old World genus.

Wigandia Wigandia is a genus of flowering plants within the waterleaf subfamily, Hydrophylloideae. They are found mainly in Central America and South America, though one or two species are found as far north as the United States. Some are grown as ornamental plants and will flourish in most Mediterranean or temperate regions. The genus is named for Johann Wigand (ca. 1523-1587), German Lutheran cleric and theologian, and Bishop of Pomesania.

Talbotia elegans Talbotia elegans is the sole species in the monotypic genus of monocotyledonous flowering plants, Talbotia. The plant is a member of Velloziaceae family and it is closely related to another African genus which is "Xerophyta". That's why depending on the classification system these two genera are sometimes united together in "Xerophyta".

Desert rainbow-skink The desert rainbow-skink ("Carlia triacantha") is an Australian skink in the genus "Carlia", commonly known as four-fingered skinks, from the subfamily Lygosominae. It is native to desert woodland regions throughout most of the Northern Territory, the north of Western Australia, and the far north-west of South Australia.

Exoneura robusta Exoneura robusta is a species of the primitively eusocial allodapine bee, belonging to the genus commonly referred to as "reed bees". Their common name derives from their use of the soft pith of dead fern fronds as a nesting material. They are native to southeastern Australia, living in both montane and heathland habitats. "E. robusta" do not have a fixed pattern of sociality, but rather they are capable of adapting their social strategy to different environments. While typically univoltine (producing one brood per season), populations living in warmer habitats (such as those in higher latitude heathlands) are capable of producing two broods per season. This leads to the incidence of sibling rearing and eusocial behavior. "E. robusta" lack strict morphological castes, thus allowing for their plastic social behavior and dominance hierarchies.

Sphagnurus Sphagnurus is a parasitic mushroom genus in the family Lyophyllaceae that creates conspicuous dead patches on peat moss ("Sphagnum") in bogs. The genus contains one species known to inhabit Eurasia and North America. Phylogenetically the genus is closest to, but is isolated from species now classified in the genus "Sagaranella" Prior to molecular analyses, the most recent classification put it in the genus "Tephrocybe", but that genus is allied to "Termitomyces".

Purana (genus) Purana is a genus of cicadas from Southeast Asia. Its distribution includes Java, Sumatra, Borneo, The Philippines, peninsular Malaysia, Thailand, India, Indochina, China, and Japan. Only one species has been recorded east of the Wallace Line, "Purana celebensis", from Sulawesi. In all species the male possess two pairs of dark ventral abdominal tubercles on third and fourth sternites. The male opercula are rather short and generally do not reach beyond the posterior pair of tubercles. Related genera that also possess abdominal tubercles are "Leptopsaltria", "Maua", "Nabalua" and "Tanna" which together with "Purana" are in the subtribe Leptopsaltriina of the tribe Cicadini.

Berberis Berberis ( ), commonly known as barberry, is a large genus of deciduous and evergreen shrubs from 1 – tall found throughout the temperate and subtropical regions of the world (apart from Australia). Species diversity is greatest in South America, Africa and Asia; Europe and North America have native species as well. The best-known "Berberis" species is the European barberry, "Berberis vulgaris", which is common in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and central Asia. Many of the species have spines on the shoots and along the margins of the leaves.

Planktothrix Planktothrix is a genus of filamentous cyanobacteria (often called blue-green algae). "P. agardhii" is regarded as a type species of the genus. Like all the Oscillatoriales, "Planktothrix" species have no heterocyst and no akinetes, but are unique because they are planktonic, solitary trichome and have gas vacuoles. Before the work of Suda et al., some species of the taxon were grouped within the genus "Oscillatoria". A tremendous body of work on "Planktothrix" ecology and physiology has been done by Anthony E. Walsby, and the 55.6 kb microcystin synthetase gene have been sequenced.

Isoetopsida The Isoetopsida is a class of Lycopodiophyta. All extant species belong to the genus "Selaginella" in the order Selaginellales or to the genus "Isoetes" in the order Isoetales. In the past, members of this group sometimes have been placed in the classes Isoetopsida, Selaginellopsida, or Lycopodiopsida. There are c. 700 species of "Selaginella" and 140-150 species of "Isoetes", with a cosmopolitan distribution, but often scarce to rare. Some botanists split "Isoetes" by separating two South American species into the genus "Stylites".

Neofabricia Neofabricia is a genus of shrubs and small trees in the Myrtaceae family, first described as a genus in 1788, with the name "Fabricia". This, however, was an illegitimate homonym, in other words, someone had already used the name to refer to a very different plant. Therefore, this group in the Myrtaceae was renamed "Neofabricia". The entire genus is endemic to Queensland.

Blasia Blasia pusilla is the only species in the liverwort genus Blasia. It is distinguished from "Cavicularia" by the presence of a collar around the base of the sporophyte capsule, and a scattered arrangement of sperm-producing antheridia. Rhizoids and gemmae of "Blasia" may be parasitized by the mushroom "Blasiphalia".

Amanitaceae The Amanitaceae is a family of mushroom-forming fungi. The family, also commonly called the amanita family, is in order Agaricales, the gilled mushrooms. The family consists primarily of the large genus "Amanita", but also includes the smaller genera "Amarrendia", "Catatrama", "Limacella", "Saproamanita" and "Torrendia". Both "Amarrendia" and "Torrendia" and considered to be synonymous with "Amanita" but appear quite different because they are secotioid.
