Botrychium Botrychium is a genus of ferns, seedless vascular plants in the family Ophioglossaceae. "Botrychium" species are known as moonworts. They are small, with fleshy roots, and reproduce by spores shed into the air. One part of the leaf, the trophophore, is sterile and fernlike; the other, the sporophore, is fertile and carries the clusters of sporangia or spore cases. Some species only occasionally emerge above ground and gain most of their nourishment from an association with mycorrhizal fungi. They are unusual among tracheophytes ("higher plants") in that at least some species produce the sugar trehalose.

Ruscus hypoglossum Ruscus hypoglossum is a small evergreen shrub with a native range from Italy north to Austria and Slovakia and east to Turkey and Crimea. Common names include spineless butcher's-broom, mouse thorn and horse tongue lily. The laurel crown of Caesar was made of "Ruscus hypoglossum". The species name comes from two Greek words "hypo" and "glossus" meaning "under" and "tongue".

Rhynchoglossum Rhynchoglossum is a genus of plant in family Gesneriaceae. In recent times, members of the former genus "Klugia" are also included. Species within the broader genus are found in India, southern China to New Guinea and about three species in tropical America. The genus has a leaf arrangement that is termed as alternate-distichous and the leaves are asymmetric in shape. The flowers have two lips. The older genus "Klugia" had four stamens compared to the typical two but "Klugia" from southern India are found to be very close based on molecular evidence.

Gyroflexus Gyroflexus is a monotypic genus with a yellowish-ivory colored omphalinoid agaric in the Hymenochaetales that grows on living "Sphagnum" Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera "Rickenella", "Blasiphalia", "Loreleia", "Cantharellopsis" and "Contumyces", as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera "Muscinupta" and "Cotylidia" and clavaroid genus, "Alloclavaria". "Gyroflexus brevibasidiatus", the type, amongst the vaguely omphalinoid genera is distinguished by its small, mammiform pileus, growth on "Sphagnum", and lack of cystidia.

Ophioglossales Ophioglossales (lit. 'snake-tongue [plants]') are a small group of pteridophyte plants. Traditionally they are included in the division Pteridophyta, the ferns, originally as a family and later as the order Ophioglossales. In some classifications this group is placed in a separate division, the Ophioglossophyta, but recent molecular systematic studies have shown the Ophioglossales to be closely related to the Psilotales.

Lessingia lemmonii Lessingia lemmonii is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Lemmon's lessingia. It is native to the western United States around the intersection of Nevada, Arizona, and California, where it grows in desert and other habitat with sandy soils. This is an annual herb producing gray-green woolly stems in a low clump just a few centimeters high to a relatively erect 40 centimeters tall. The leaves are narrow and small, under 2 centimeters long, with much larger leaves appearing around the base of the young plant and withering away early. The flower heads appear singly or in open arrays. Each head has a bell- to bullet-shaped involucre lined with hairy to woolly phyllaries. The head is discoid, containing no ray florets but many funnel-shaped yellow disc florets with long lobes. The florets often have white markings in the throats. The fruit is an achene with a whitish or brownish pappus of bristles.

Psilotopsida Psilotopsida is a class of ferns or fern-like plants, considered to be one of the three classes of eusporangiate ferns. It should not be confused with the obsolete class Psilophytopsida. As circumscribed by Smith "et al.", 2006, Psilotopsida contains two families, Psilotaceae and Ophioglossaceae, placed in orders Psilotales and Ophioglossales, respectively. The affinities of these two groups have long been unclear and a close relationship between them has only recently been confirmed through molecular systematic studies. Some studies show that Psilotopsida is the sister-group to all other ferns (including Marattiaceae and Equisetaceae), but others indicate that Equisetaceae is more basal.

Geogenanthus poeppigii Geogenanthus poeppigii, commonly called the seersucker plant, is a flowering plant species in the family "Commelinaceae" (the dayflower & spiderwort family). As currently circumscribed, the genus "Geogenanthus" includes two other species, "G. ciliatus" and "G. rhizanthus". This species is named after E.F. Poeppig, 19th century German explorer. "Geogenanthus undatus" is an outdated synonym for "G. poeppigii". For more details on the rather complicated synonmy for this species, see Faden (1981).
