Rice (Oryza sativa) is a long panicled grass, having, when ripe, some resemblance to oats, the seed growing in a separate pedicel starting from the main stalk. Each kernel terminates in an awn, and is enclosed in a rough husk, or scale, of a yellowish color. The stem or stalk of rice is similiar to that of wheat, except that the joints are more numerous. It is annual, and rises to the height of from two to six feet, according to the variety, soil, and culture. The rice seed is surrounded with a husk, which is so closely attached to it as being difficult of seperation. It is cleaned by passing through mill-stones, set far enough apart to prevent crushing the grain, but sufficiently near to remove the husks or chaff by friction.

An illustration of a manchineel tree stem and fruit. The Manchineel tree (Hippomane mancinella) is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family (Euphorbiaceae), native to Florida in the United States, the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central America, and northern South America. The name "manchineel" (sometimes written "manchioneel") as well as the specific epithet mancinella is from Spanish manzanilla ("little apple"), from the superficial resemblance of its fruit and leaves those of an apple tree. A present-day Spanish name is in fact manzanilla de la muerte, "little apple of death". This refers to the fact that manzanilla is one of the most poisonous trees in the world

An illustration showing both the flower (a) and fruit (b) of the Indian Cucumber-root plant. Medeola virginiana or Indian Cucumber-root is a perennial plant in the genus Medeola. It occurs with either a single tier or two tiers of leaves. The upper tier consists of from three to five whorled leaves on the stem above a lower tier of five to nine (also whorled). Only the two-tiered plants produce flowers which are green-to-yellow and appear from May to June. When two-tiered, it grows up to 30 inches high. The waxy leaves are typically 2.5 inches long and about an inch wide, but can be as long as five inches. The leaves have an entire margin. It typically produces three dark blue to purple, inedible berries above the top tier of leaves in September.

They are hemiparasites on other plants, obtaining some mineral nutrients from the host plant, though they are able to survive on their own without parasitising other plants. Melampyrum species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Mouse Moth.
