Olearia polita is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand.
Olearia, most commonly known as daisy-bush, is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae, the largest of the flowering plant families in the world. Olearia are found in Australia, New Guinea and New Zealand. The genus includes herbaceous plants, shrubs and small trees. The latter are unusual among the Asteraceae and are called tree daisies in New Zealand. All bear the familiar daisy-like composite flowerheads in white, pink, mauve or purple.
Oxychilus draparnaudi, or Draparnaud's glass snail, is a species of small land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Oxychilidae, the glass snails.
Ormosia polita is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is a tree endemic to Peninsular Malaysia. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Olearia angulata is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand.
Olearia chathamica is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand.
Olearia fragrantissima is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is found only in New Zealand. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Olearia hectorii is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. Its common names include deciduous tree daisy and Hector's tree daisy. It is endemic to New Zealand, where it is nationally endangered.
Olearia traversiorum, the Chatham Island akeake, or Chatham Island tree daisy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand. It is also known by the synonym O. traversii.
Mandarina luhuana is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Camaenidae. This species is endemic to Japan.
Platythelphusa is a genus of freshwater crabs endemic to Lake Tanganyika. It has been placed in a number of families, including a monotypic family, Platythelphusidae, as well as Potamidae and its current position in the Potamonautidae, and has also been treated as a subgenus of Potamonautes. It forms a monophyletic group, possibly nested within the genus Potamonautes, which would therefore be paraphyletic. The genus is the only evolutionary radiation of crabs to have occurred in a freshwater lake, and it occurred recently, probably since the Pliocene. This parallels the better known radiation of cichlid fishes in Lake Tanganyika. Only one other species of freshwater crab is found in Lake Tanganyika, Potamonautes platynotus.
Syzygium politum is a species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. It is endemic to Peninsular Malaysia.
The Pondoland fig is a species of fig that is endemic to forests of coastal South Africa, where it is threatened by habitat loss.

Platyla polita is a species of very small land snail with an operculum, a terrestrial gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Aciculidae.

Olearia rani, or heketara as it is known in Māori is a common small forest tree of New Zealand. It grows in lowland forest throughout the North Island and in the northern half of the South Island. Olearia rani var. rani has a more northern range than Olearia rani var. colorata which is found in forests from the Coromandel south to the Buller River. Its leaves have white undersides and prominent veins. During the spring the tree produces clusters of small white flowers.
