Vallea is a genus of trees in the family Elaeocarpaceae. [1] [2] Trees in this genus are native to the Andes mountain range in South America and are classified in two species: [2]
Vallisneria is a genus of freshwater aquatic plant, commonly called eelgrass, tape grass or vallis. The genus is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.
Narthecium is a Eurasian and North American genus of herbaceous flowering plants. This genus was traditionally treated as belonging to the family Liliaceae, but the APG II system of 2003 placed it in the family Nartheciaceae.
Hydrocharis is a genus of aquatic plants in the family Hydrocharitaceae described as a genus by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. It is widespread across much of Europe and Asia, plus a few scattered locations in Africa. It is also reportedly naturalized in parts of North America.
Aletris, the colicroot, colicweed, crow corn, or unicorn root, is a genus of flowering plants in the Nartheciaceae family, native to North America and to eastern and southeastern Asia, especially China. It was used as a component in Lydia Pinkham's original Vegetable Compound.
Ephedra sinica is a plant species native to Mongolia, Russia, and northeastern China. It has been proposed as a candidate for the legendary soma of the Rigveda.
Vallea ecuadorensis is a species of tree in the Elaeocarpaceae family. Although formerly considered endemic to Ecuador it has also been collected in Bolivia and Peru. This species occurs in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, at 2500 – 3500 meters above sea level.
Plumeria obtusa, the Singapore graveyard flower, is a species of the genus Plumeria (Apocynaceae). It is native to the West Indies, southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Florida. but widely cultivated for its ornamental and fragrant flowers around the world, where suitably warm climate exists.

It is native to China, Russian Far East, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Iran, Alberta, Ontario, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, the eastern United States. It is also considered introduced and naturalized in France, Spain, Italy and California.
Limnobium, common names spongeplant and American frogbit, is a group of aquatic plants in the Hydrocharitaceae described as a genus in 1814. It is widespread in freshwater environments in Latin America, the West Indies, and the United States.
Vallea stipularis is a species of tree in the Elaeocarpaceae family. It is native from the Andes mountains in South America.
