6 most common species：
Herb paris
Paris quadrifolia is a rare and threatened species from cooler climates within Eurasia. It produces a solitary flower and a single dark-blue berry. The berry emits a repulsive smell and is toxic, as is the entire plant. Reportedly, Paris quadrifolia was named for the legendary Trojan prince Paris.
Verticillate paris
Verticillate paris is a perennial herb with anywhere between 5 and 9 lanceolate leaves arranged in a star pattern that is most commonly found in forests, shady places, and hillsides along ravines. It produces a small purple-black berry as its fruit.
Love Apple
Love Apple (Paris polyphylla) is a flowering plant that is grown ornamentally for its showy spider-shaped flowers and its dark red berries. It is a good plant to grow in shade gardens or for understory plantings since it enjoys these conditions in the wild. This plant is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Paris rhizome
Paris rhizome(Paris polyphylla var. chinensis) grows in damp, shady forests - especially bamboo forests. Its genus name, Paris, does not reference the city, but instead is derived from the Latin word, "par," meaning "equal"; it was given because of the symmetry among the plant's leaves, flowers, and fruits.
Paris japonica
Paris japonica boasts a singular whorl of generally four broad leaves crowning a slender stem, with a notable solitary, starry white flower emerging at the center in springtime. Its striking berry-like fruit, turning from green to blue-black in autumn, coupled with a preference for cool, shaded forest habitats, reflects a harmonious adaptation to its understory environment.
Paris polyphylla var. stenophylla
Paris polyphylla var. stenophylla is a perennial herb with an intriguing whorl of lance-shaped leaves radiating from its stem, reminiscent of an elegant emerald carousel. This variation portrays narrower leaves than its relatives, reflecting an adaptation to its forest understory habitat, where dappled light and moist soils nurture its secretive growth. Striking greenish-purple flowers bloom in spring, enticing pollinators, while its red berries beckon birds, facilitating seed dispersal.

Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
