Harpullia alata, common name -winged tulip or wing-leaved tulip, [3] is a tree in the family Sapindaceae, endemic to eastern Australia, and found from Brisbane, Queensland to Grafton, New South Wales. [3]
Harpullia alata is a tree which grows to a height of 7 m. It has smooth parts except for its young growth and its inflorescences. The leaf rachis and its stem have broad toothed wings. The leaf rachis is 11–18 cm long, carrying 6 - 12 leaflets which are elliptic and 6–18 cm long by 2.5–7 cm wideon a stalk which is 6–10.5 cm long. The inflorescences occur in the axils and are 5–14 cm long, on an inflorescence stalk which is densely covered with very short soft hairs. The sepals are 7 mm long and the petals are 12 mm long. There are eight stamens. The ovary is covered in short, weak, soft hairs. The style is flat and reflexed. The sepals persist in fruit. There are 2 seeds per locule, which are almost enclosed in a yellow to red aril. [3]
This is the only Australian Harpullia species that has dentate margins on the leaflets and has wings on the leaf stem. [3]
It grows in rainforest. [3]
The species was formally described in 1860 by Victorian government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller from a specimen collected by Dr Hermann Beckler near the Clarence River in New South Wales. [1] [2] The species epithet, alata, is a Latin adjective meaning "winged", and describes the plant as being "winged". [3] The type specimen is held at Kew (K) k000701234.
Nepenthes mollis, or the velvet pitcher-plant, is a tropical pitcher plant species native to Kalimantan, Borneo. It used to be known only from a single dried herbarium specimen and is the sole recognised species in the genus Nepenthes of which the pitchers are unknown. In 2019 Global Wildlife Conservation announced the rediscovery of the species.
Nepenthes benstonei is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Peninsular Malaysia, where it grows at elevations of 150–1350 m above sea level. The specific epithet benstonei honours botanist Benjamin Clemens Stone, who was one of the first to collect the species.

Hakea epiglottis is a shrub commonly known as beaked hakea or needlebush hakea and is endemic to Tasmania where populations consist of functional unisexual plants. In a 1989 publication by John Wrigley & Murray Fagg states specimens at Wakehurst Place, an annexe of Kew Gardens London are specimens believed to be 60-70 years old measuring 3 m (9.8 ft) high and wide.
Harpullia hillii, commonly known as blunt-leaved tulip or oblong-leaved tulip, is a tree in the family Sapindaceae, endemic to eastern Australia. Although the species may grow to 20 metres high, most trees are less than 10 metres high. Each leaf comprises 4 to 12 leaflets, that are oblong or elliptic oblong and between 5 and 15 cm long and 2 to 6 cm wide. White flowers with petals 10–12 mm long appear in panicles that are 10–25 cm long. These are followed by orange fruit that are 25–30 mm in diameter and 12–14 mm long. The fruit, which is positioned above the persistent sepals, becomes woody with age. The glossy black seeds protrude from red arils.
Hakea trineura is a flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to Queensland. The branches and leaves are covered with rusty hairs and the pendulous flowers are greenish-yellow.

Otholobium accrescens is an upright, largely herbaceous subshrub assigned to the Pea family. It has up to three stems that carry upright branches in leaf axils near the ground, and have alternately set inverted egg-shaped leaves and lax heads consisting of 12-21 pea-like flowers on long peduncles in the axils of the lower leaves. It differs from most other Otholobium species by the calyx that continues to grow after flowering and the leaf that consists of just one leaflet. It is an endemic of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa near Loerie. It probably flowers August to January.
