Arbutus Arbutus is a genus of 11 accepted species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae, native to warm temperate regions of the Mediterranean, western Europe, the Canary Islands (Teneriffa) and North America. The name "Arbutus" was taken from Latin, where it referred to "A. unedo".

Arbutus unedo Arbutus unedo (strawberry tree) is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the family Ericaceae, native to the Mediterranean region and western Europe north to western France and Ireland. Due to its presence in southwest and northwest Ireland, it is known as either "Irish strawberry tree", or cain or cane apple (from the Gaelic name for the tree, "caithne"), or sometimes "Killarney strawberry tree".

Glossopteris Glossopteris (Ancient Greek: γλώσσα "glossa" , meaning "tongue", because the leaves were tongue-shaped) is the largest and best-known genus of the extinct order of seed ferns known as Glossopteridales (also known as Arberiales or Ottokariales). The genus "Glossopteris" refers only to leaves, within a framework of form genera used in paleobotany. (For likely reproductive organs see Glossopteridaceae.) These are important because they indicate biological identity of these plants that were critical for recognizing former connections between the varied fragments of Gondwana: South America, Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, and Antarctica.

Solenopsis daguerrei Solenopsis daguerrei is a species of parasitic ants native to Argentina and Uruguay . The young queens of the species invade the nests of other species, such as the red imported fire ant (RIFA) ("Solenopsis invicta"). This is made possible by the fact that the "S. daguerrei" queen produces pheromones which are very similar to those produced by the queens of the host species. The young queen finds a queen of the host species and latches onto it, eating the food intended for the host queen and slowly killing it. The "S. daguerrei" queen then begins laying eggs. These are taken care of by the host ants, sometimes preferentially to their own brood. "S. daguerrei" only produce winged virgin queens and males. No workers are needed, since these are provided by the host species. The winged ants fly off to mate and invade new colonies.

Solenochilidae Solenochilidae is a small family of Carboniferous and Early Permian nautilids, similar and related to the Aipoceratidae that comprises genera with whorls in contact and which develop laterally projecting umbilical spines by maturity. The included genera "Solenochilus" and "Acanthonautilus" are quite similar in external form but differ in their siphuncles. Those of "Solenochilus" have more strongly inflated siphuncle segments and more tightly curved septal necks.

Arotrophora Arotrophora is a genus of tortrix moth. They occur in Australia, where they are strongly associated with the plant family Proteaceae. All of the known Australian larvae bore in "Banksia" flower spikes. The genus was recently discovered from the Oriental region and one species is found on Papua.

Argania Argania (Berber: "ⴰⵔⴳⴰⵏ" "Argan") is a genus of flowering plants containing the sole species Argania spinosa, known as argan, a tree endemic to the calcareous semidesert Sous valley of southwestern Morocco and Algeria. Currently, it can be found only in an area of approximately 8000 sqkm in the southwest of Morocco and Algeria ("Souss-Massa-Drâa" region). Argan trees grow to 8–10 m high and live up to 200 years. They are thorny, with gnarled trunks and wide spreading crown. The crown has a circumference of about 70 m and the branches lean towards the ground.

Aiphanes Aiphanes is a genus of spiny palms which is native to tropical regions of South and Central America and the Caribbean. There are about 26 species in the genus (see below), ranging in size from understorey shrubs with subterranean stems to subcanopy trees as tall as 20 m . Most have pinnately compound leaves (leaves which are divided into leaflets arranged feather-like, in pairs along a central axis); one species has entire leaves. Stems, leaves and sometimes even the fruit are covered with spines. Plants flower repeatedly over the course of their lifespan and have separate male and female flowers, although these are borne together on the same inflorescence. Although records of pollinators are limited, most species appear to be pollinated by insects. The fruit are eaten by several birds and mammals, including at least two species of amazon parrots.

Synclidopus Synclidopus is a genus of soles. The two species have numerous narrow dark and pale stripes. Both are endemic to eastern Australia. Adults of the best-known species, "S. macleayanus" live at moderate depths in the ocean, but migrate towards estuaries to spawn in the spring and summer. The young make their way up the estuary and river, only to return to the sea when they grow older. Less is known about "S. hogani", only described in 2008, but it appears to be restricted to the Daintree River.

Aiphanes bicornis Aiphanes bicornis is a species of small, pinnately leaved palm which is endemic to Ecuador. First described in 2004 and known from only two locations, the species name refers to the deeply notched tips of its leaflets, which resemble a pair of horns.

Asparagus aethiopicus Asparagus aethiopicus, Sprenger's Asparagus, is a plant native to the Cape Provinces and the Northern Provinces of South Africa. Often used as an ornamental plant, it is considered an invasive weed in many locations. Asparagus fern and foxtail fern are common names; however, it is unrelated to true ferns. "A. aethiopicus" has been confused with "A. densiflorus", now regarded as a separate species, so that information about "A. aethiopicus" will often be found under the name "A. densiflorus".
