8 most common species：
Maesa
There are about 100 species, the majority of which occur in Malesia, New Guinea, western Asia and the Pacific Islands. These plants are vines, shrubs, and trees up to 12 m tall.
Labisia
Aegiceras
Aegiceras is a genus of trees and shrubs from Southeast Asia, Malesia, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
Stimpsonia
Coris
Primroses
The primroses (Primula) are a large and diverse group of flowering plants with a wide distribution. The "prim" in primroses is a reference to primus, the Latin word for "first", and thus to the fact that these flowers are often some of the first to bloom during springtime. Many primroses are cultivated ornamentally, and several species also provide important food sources for caterpillars and other insects.
Loosestrifes
The loosestrifes (Lysimachia) are a large group of flowering plants in the primrose family. Many have small but showy yellow flowers and are very pollinator-friendly – this has made them sought-after ornamentals, and today many garden cultivars are available. The genus' scientific name comes from an unusual piece of lore: an ancient king of the island of Sicily, named Lysimachus, was said to have calmed an enraged ox by feeding it loosestrifes.
Marlberry
Known for their showy berries, marlberry are often domesticated as houseplants or garden additions. However, they tend to escape cultivation, and even the wild species have come to be considered noxious weeds in several areas. Besides shading out native plants, the members of marlberry are also considered toxic to livestock.

Alpine violet are a small group of low-growing, flowering plants in the primrose family. Their colorful, nodding flowers have made them sought after garden and indoor plants, and there are many ornamental cultivars. In some areas across their native range, in fact, populations have been depleted due to overcollecting.

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.
