8 most common species：
Rice flower
There are about 150 species, including 110 in Australia and thirty six in New Zealand. Plants in the genus rice flower are herbs or small shrubs usually with leaves arranged in opposite pairs. The leaves are usually paler on the lower surface and the petiole is usually very short. The flowers are usually arranged in groups on the ends of the branches and have no petals but four petal-like sepals and two stamens. The ovary has a single ovule and the fruit is usually a nut containing a single seed.
Stellera
Stellera has a single species, found in mountainous regions of central and south Asia. Stellera is a perennial plant. Unbranched stems, 20 to 30 cm tall, emerge in a cluster from an underground rhizome. Individual leaves are narrow and pointed. The flowers are grouped into rounded tightly packed terminal heads. The flower colour varies from shades of pink and white to yellow. The fruit is a dry drupe, enclosed by the remains of the calyx.
Diarthron
The flowers lack petals. There are usually four (sometimes five) sepals, united at the base into a tube with lobes at the end, reddish, white or green in colour. The ovary has a single chamber (locule). The fruit is dry with the seed enclosed in a thin glossy black pericarp.
False ohelos
False ohelos is a genus of 55-70 species of flowering shrubs and small trees in the mezereon family, Thymelaeaceae.
Paper bush
Paper bush are a small genus of slow-growing evergreen or deciduous shrubs, the bark of which was traditionally used as paper and wallpaper. The Latin name of this genus, Edgeworthia, honors the Irish botanist Michael Pakenham (1812-1881). Paper bush plants can flower very early—in late winter. Many species have a pleasant aroma.
lign aloes
The trees of lign aloes grow to 6 to 20 m tall. The leaves are alternate, with a short acuminate apex and an entire margin. The flowers are yellowish-green, produced in an umbel; the fruit is a woody capsule. Lign aloes is a genus of fifteen species, native to southeast Asia.
Gnidia
Gnidia is distributed in Africa, Madagascar, Arabia, India, and Sri Lanka; more than half of all the species are endemic to South Africa. These are perennial herbs and shrubs, sometimes with rhizomes. Most species have alternately arranged leaves, and a few have opposite leaves. The leaves are undivided and unlobed. The inflorescence is a head of a few to many flowers. There are 140 to 160 species classified in the genus.

Gonna
Gonna
Members of the genus gonna are ericoid shrubs or shrublets, often with a tendency to having pendulous branches. Their leaves are concave or closely involute, lined with woolly hairs, and cling to leafy stems without being large enough to cover them. The flowers of some species are borne in terminal spikes, whereas other species bear them in a four-flowered head. In most species the fruit is membranous. The seeds have a black, crustaceous testa and curved, beak-like micropyle. The genus is endemic to Southern Africa, most species within South Africa, though some extend north of the border. There are some 20 accepted species in the genus gonna.

In habit struthiolas are ericoid shrubs or shrublets. There are forty-odd species, mainly South African, mainly occurring in the Western Cape, about 25 endemic to fynbos. Their leaves are usually opposite, but sometimes alternate. Their flowers are sessile and generally solitary, but sometimes in pairs in the axils of the upper leaves. The fruit is small, dry, included in the persistent base of the calyx-tube.
Sparrow-worts

Leatherwood
Leatherwood
Leatherwood are a genus of flowering plants. Their Latin name, Dirca, comes from the mythological Greek queen Dirce. The fibrous stems and bark of these plants have been used by Native Americans to make rope, baskets, and more. Some of these plants are potentially toxic as the stems contain calcium oxalate crystals and the berries have narcotic properties.
Daphnes
Daphnes
Daphnes are deciduous or evergreen shrubs that produce swaths of fragrant flowers and striking-colored berries. But take care, these berries and every other part of daphnes are extremely toxic. There are many popular plants in this genus that are cultivated as ornamentals thanks to their late winter bloom time and beautiful flowers and foliage.

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.
