* ''VideoGame/GrowSongOfTheEvertree'': All the biomes have different styles of plants, flowers, and bushes. While they're fairly normal-looking in nature and desert worlds, ice worlds have trees with crystal trunks; princess worlds have plants shaped like hearts, stars, and pillars; fungus worlds have mushrooms instead; and gross worlds' plants have eyes or mouths.

** The cementrees of the Hothouse Age are plants whose symbiotic ant colonies build mounds around them in order to protect the trees from thorngrazers and the like, heaping material until they reach maturity at 40 feet tall. While initially simply made of clay, as the tree grows and the colony gets more established, the mound is further shored up by cellulose from dead plant matter nearby, clay, grains of sand, and ant feces, giving it the strength and durability of hempcrete. By the late Hothouse, the cementrees have further evolved to become massive structures known as sky islands, essentially terrestrial reefs comprised of thousands of trees that can range from separated groups only tens of feet wide to massive constructions that go for hundreds if not ''thousands'' of miles and go more than two miles above sea level. Even the individual trees of a sky island can get as tall as a skyscraper.

** The wandering spiderweed of the longdark swamp 290 million years post establishment is a parasitic plant that is so thigmotactic that it's capable of climbing around (Albeit at slow scales) and is essentially biologically immortal.

** The wandering spiderweed of the longdark swamp 290 million years post establishment is a parasitic plant that is so thigmotactic that it's capable of climbing around (Albeit at slow scales) -- its old growth dies off and is crumbles away at about the same rate that new leaves grow, wind about tree branches and harden, allowing the plant to ''very'' slowly move towards desirable stimuli and making it essentially biologically immortal.

* In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', there are various fantastic plants, such as the mandrake roots that look like human beings and can kill people with their cry, the [[spoiler:gillyweed, that helps Harry breathe underwater]], and the plant ''Mimbulus Mimbletonia'' which Neville is given as a gift and brings to school. The Hogwarts curriculum dedicates a major class to studying magical flora.

to:

* ''Literature/DownwardToTheEarth'': The flora of Belzagor serves as one of the primary reminders that the story takes place on an alien world, and the narration periodically pauses to describe, often in considerable detail, the various glowing, oddly-colored, strangely-proportioned, mobile, or carnivorous plants, fungi, and slime molds of the planet.
** The plateau lands are covered in much more alien flora than the relatively mundane lowland jungles, such as carpets of carnivorous ground cover, dense growths of spiky purple moss, crimson lichens, and ropy blue fungus.
**
In ''Literature/HarryPotter'', there the norther highlands, [[GlowingFlora many trees have luminous foliage]], and certain types of fungi move around as crawling, slug-like detritus-eaters.
** At Niagara Station, Seena has grown a large garden of plant life from across the planet, resulting in a surreal mixture of forms. As Gundersen crosses it to reach the station, the narration spends considerable time describing his passage through fleshy candle-like growths, plants with immensely enlarged fruit or stamens, writhing vines, shrubs with mobile leaves, and patches of carnivorous moss and jelly.

Added the hydrogen trees on Sessharrim from WesternAnimation.Titan AE. Yes, they tend to explode like the Hindenburg.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/TitanAE'': The broken moon of Sessharrim, homeworld of the Gaoul, has its main land mass surrounded by hydrogen trees. These emerge from the water with twisted and gnarled trunks that carry globes of hydrogen gas. Tearing one of these globes begets a fiery explosion, some of which take out hostile Drej spaceships.
