Tasmannia Tasmannia is a genus of woody, evergreen flowering plants of the family Winteraceae. The 40 species of "Tasmannia" are native to Australia, New Guinea, Sulawesi, Borneo, and the Philippines. The Winteraceae are magnoliids, and are associated with the humid Antarctic flora of the Southern Hemisphere. The members of the family generally have aromatic bark and leaves, and some are used to extract essential oils. The peppery-flavored fruits and leaves (especially dried) of this genus are increasingly used as a condiment in Australia. The peppery flavour can be attributed to polygodial.

Acrostichum Acrostichum is a fern genus in the Ceratopteridoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. It was one of the original pteridophyte genera delineated by Linnaeus. It was originally drawn very broadly, including all ferns that had sori apparently "acrostichoid", or distributed in a uniform mass across the back of the frond, rather than organized in discrete sori. This led Linnaeus to include such species as "Asplenium platyneuron" in the genus, because the specimen he received had sori so crowded that it appeared acrostichoid.

Anthurium andraeanum Anthurium andraeanum is a flowering plant species in the Araceae family. The species is native to Colombia and Ecuador. It is a monocotyledonous perennial, preferring warm, shady and humid climates, such as tropical rainforests. Its most characteristic feature as an ornamental is its brightly colored spathe leaf, and the protruding inflorescence called the spadix.

Danthonioideae Danthonioideae is a mainly southern hemisphere subfamily of grasses, containing the single tribe Danthonieae and three unplaced genera, with altogether roughly 300 species. It includes herbaceous to partially woody perennial or annual (less common) grasses that grow in open grasslands, shrublands, and woodlands. It belongs to the PACMAD clade of grasses, but unlike some other lineages in that clade, grasses in the Danthonioideae exclusively use the C photosynthetic pathway. Its sister group is the subfamily Chloridoideae.

Nesogordonia Nesogordonia is a flowering plant genus. Traditionally included in the family Sterculiaceae, it is included in the expanded Malvaceae in the APG and most subsequent systematics.

Acropyga Acropyga is a genus of small formicine ants. Some species can be indirect pests. "A. acutiventris", which is found from India to Australia, tends subterranean, root-feeding mealybugs of the species "Xenococcus annandalei". Living, gravid females are carried in the jaws of "A. acutiventris" queens during their nuptial flight, to establish the symbiotic association in founding colonies. Other "Acropyga" species have relationships with different species of mealybugs, and it could be a trait common to the whole genus.

Furtadoa Furtadoa is a genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. It consists of only two species: "F. mixta" and "F. sumatrensis". The genus was described in 1981 by Mitsuru Hotta with one species endemic on Sumatra. In 1985 Hotta transferred a preexisting species of "Homalomena" (the West Malaysian "H. mixtum" Ridl.) to "Furtadoa". Both described species of "Furtadoa" have stems that creep, and root along their length (a very rare condition in related "Homalomena"), and leathery elliptical leaves. The inflorescence is carried on a long peduncle, with the spathes unconstricted, and either green, reddish brown, or purple-grey. The spadix is unique by having the male flowers (except for those at the tip of the spadix) each associated with a sterile female flower (a pistillode) in addition to each fertile female flower being associated with a sterile male flower (staminode).
