Xerophyllum tenax is a North American species of plants in the corn lily family. It is known by several common names, including bear grass, soap grass, quip-quip, and Indian basket grass. The name "beargrass" is thought to come from its connection to both the plant's habitat and its relationship with bears. Found in the same forested and meadowed areas where bears are commonly present, beargrass thrives in environments such as the Pacific Northwest, California, and parts of the Rocky Mountains. Bears are known to feed on the softer leaf bases of the plant, which may have influenced its name. In addition to this ecological connection, beargrass is a tough, resilient plant, which could also explain its association with bears, creatures often symbolizing strength and endurance. The plant’s long, fibrous leaves are highly valued by Native Americans, who use them to weave baskets, jewelry, and other items. While it is a common myth that beargrass blooms every seven years, the plant typically blooms at irregular intervals, depending on environmental factors such as moisture and temperature. Beargrass can grow to be a little over 4 feet tall when in a preferred habitat and ideal conditions such as ample sunlight.
Grevillea aquifolium is a shrubby or scrambling plant endemic to South Australia and Victoria. Common names include holly grevillea, prickly grevillea or variable prickly grevillea. It occurs naturally in woodland, open forest and heathland.

Acacia exudans, also known as Casterton wattle, is a shrub species that is endemic to Australia. The species was formally described by English botanist John Lindley in 1838 from material collected on Thomas Mitchell's expedition near Casterton, Victoria in 1836. The description was published in Mitchell's Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia.
Acacia aspera, commonly known as rough wattle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to the south-east of continental Australia.

Leionema bilobum, commonly known as notched phebalium, is a shrub species of the family Rutaceae. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia. The species was first formally described by English botanist John Lindley from material collected during Thomas Mitchell's exploration of the Grampians. His description was published in 1838 in Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia. Lindley gave it the name Phebalium bilobum. The species was transferred to the genus Leionema by Paul G. Wilson in 2003. Four subspecies were formally described in 2006:
