This part Aquatic plant will be in small pools
and ponds we will have all over our
ecosystem to spice up the water and make it
look awesome.
Common Liverwort
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Marchantiophyta
Class: Marchantiopsida
Order: Marchantiales
Family: Marchantiaceae
Genus: Marchantia
Species: M. polymorpha
This plant rapidly grows after a fire, so that is
great for rehabilitation after a fire. Also, it can
also be a horticultural weed, which would be
good for the business and technology of
plant use.
Luminous Snakeskin
Liverwort
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Marchantiophyta
Class: Marchantiopsida
Order: Marchantiales
Family: Conocephalaceae

Species: C. conicum luminosum
The purpose of this Liverwort is to shine a
light on the subject so we (and other
animals) can see when we are walking
around
Monosolenium tenerum
Kingdom: Plantae
Phylum: Marchantiophyta
Class: Marchantiopsida
Order: Marchantiales
Family: Monosoleniaceae
Genus: Monosolenium
It is an exploiter of high levels of nitrogen, if
there is too much nitrogen in the soil it will
use it so that there is an acceptable amount.
It also does this to have local dominance.
Plant:
The Glowing Tree
(this is one of our made up plants)
Classification:
Angiosperms
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Magnoliophyta
Class: Magnoliopsida
Order: Fagales
Role in Ecosystem
Because it is bioluminescent, it is a
large producer of light.
Creates oxygen
Has acorns so it can provide food
Provides shelter from the rain
Does not need much care to upkeep
Family: Fagaceae
Genus: Quercus
Species: Quercus magna arbor candentis
Quaking Aspen
Kingdom: Plantae
Order: Malpighiales

It’s leaves are food for caterpillars
of moths and butterflies.
Spider Flower
KIngdom: Plantae
Order: Brassicales

Genus: Cleome
Species: C. hassleriana
This plant produces pollen which
helps complete the cycle between
the bees and the flowers.

It is also a great plant for erosion
Mosses
Name

Role in ecosystems
Takakia ceratophylla

Provides nice and soft ground so
you have comfort while galavanting
around our forest.
Division: Bryophyta
Class: Takakiopsida
Order TakakIales
Genus: Takakia
Species: T ceratophylla
Polytrichaceae
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Bryophyta
It looks like a mini pineapple so we
thought all our visitors might like a
little eye candy
Class: Polytrichopsida
Order: polytrichales
Family: Polytrichaceae
Sphagnopsida
Kingdom: Plantae
To go along with the other mosses
we thought this one would be a nice
Division: Bryophyta
addition for all our little critters to lay
Gymnosperms
Name
Classification
Role in Ecosystem
Pine
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Spermatophyta
Class: Pinopsida
Order: Pinales
Family: Pinaceae
Genus: Pinus L.
Pines are mostly used for pine oil
and timber. They’re very useful
because Pine Trees can live in the
harshest of conditions, resist
disease and insects, and don’t fall or
burn as fast in case of wind or fire.
Conifers
Kingdom: Plantae
Division: Coniferophyta
(Pinophyta)
Class: Pinopsida
Order: Pinales
Family: Pinaceae
Genus: Larix
Conifers help provide food with
photosynthesis. They also make a
good home for animals that nest in
the tree or hide under the branches.
The pine needles fall to the floor
and make soil.
Gnetales
Kingdom: Plantae
Class: Gnetopsida
Order: Gnetales
Gnetales can be used for a snack in
the heat. Animals are able to find
food through this plant, even in
very dry times. Also, if we get stuck
in our biome without any food, we
are able to use this as food.
