Cuban Royal Palm
Roystonea regia
The majestic Cuban Royal Palm, Roystonea regia, is a large-sized palm tree native to the tropical regions of the Americas. It is characterized by its single, smooth, light gray trunk that widens slightly at the base and is crowned by a dense canopy of large, arching pinnate leaves. It is widely used in landscaping to create a dramatic visual impact in avenues, parks, and gardens.
Madder
Rubia tinctorum
Madder (Rubia tinctorum) is a perennial, scrambling-climbing plant in the Rubiaceae family, native to the Mediterranean region and Western Asia. It can also be found growing wild in Hungary, primarily in the floodplains of the Danube and Drava rivers as a remnant of historical cultivation. Its square-shaped stems are covered in hooked hairs and branch across multiple levels, featuring whorls of lanceolate leaves with prickly margins. In early to mid-summer, it produces tiny, honey-yellow flowers that develop into black, fleshy berries. Its long, fleshy, orange-red roots contain a pigment called alizarin, which has been used for millennia to dye textiles red—from the Middle Ages until the emergence of synthetic dyes in the 19th century, it was the most important source of natural red dye.
Himalayan Blackberry
Rubus armeniacus
Rubus armeniacus, commonly known as Himalayan Blackberry, is a vigorous, fast-growing, semi-evergreen shrub native to Armenia and northern Iran. Its arching biennial canes can reach 3–10 metres in length and are lined with stout thorns. Despite its common name, it is not native to the Himalayas; it was introduced to North America in 1885 and has since become one of the most widespread invasive shrubs in temperate regions worldwide. The plant produces attractive white to pale pink flowers in late spring and early summer, followed by large, sweet, jet-black berries that are prized for eating fresh, making jams, pies, and beverages. Its root bark and leaves also have a long history of medicinal use as an astringent remedy.
Himalayan Blackberry
Rubus bifrons
Himalayan Blackberry (Rubus bifrons) is a thorny, sprawling shrub in the Rosaceae family, native to Europe and western Asia. It grows vigorously, forming dense thickets with arching canes reaching several meters, producing white to pale pink flowers in late spring/summer followed by glossy black, sweet fruit in summer. Extremely hardy, it has become invasive in many regions outside its native range.
European dewberry
Rubus caesius
A trailing, deciduous shrub in the rose family, native to Europe and Asia and related to blackberries and raspberries. It has arching stems with few prickles, three-leaflet slightly downy leaves and white flowers up to 6 cm across. The fruit is a cluster of blue-black drupelets coated in a waxy bloom that makes them look sky blue, hence the name caesius. It grows in hedgerows, woodland edges, riverbanks and rough ground.
Red Raspberry
Rubus idaeus
Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus) is a deciduous fruiting shrub native to Europe and northern Asia, belonging to the Rosaceae family. It produces arching, thorny canes that bear delicious, bright red aggregate berries in summer. Widely cultivated for both its edible fruit and ornamental hedging value, it thrives in temperate climates with cool winters and mild summers.
Black Raspberry
Rubus occidentalis
Rubus occidentalis, commonly known as black raspberry or blackcap, is a thorny, deciduous cane fruit native to eastern North America. Distinguished by its arching purple-tinged canes covered in a waxy white bloom, this vigorous bramble produces small, dome-shaped black berries prized for their deep, tart-sweet flavor and high antioxidant content. Unlike red raspberries, black raspberry canes root at the tip where they touch soil, forming new plants naturally. It thrives in sunny hedgerows, woodland edges, and cultivated berry patches.
Elm-leaved Blackberry
Rubus ulmifolius
Rubus ulmifolius, commonly known as the Elm-leaved Blackberry or Silverleaf Bramble, is a vigorous semi-evergreen shrub native to Europe and the Mediterranean region.

In nature, it grows both as an epiphyte and on the forest floor.
Butcher's Broom (genus)
Ruscus
Ruscus is a genus of low-growing evergreen shrubs in the family Asparagaceae, native to Europe, the Mediterranean, and western Asia. Their defining feature is cladodes — flattened stems that mimic leaves and carry both flowers and fruit. The bright red berries appearing in autumn and winter make them popular as ornamental and cut foliage plants. Best-known species include R. aculeatus (common butcher's broom) and R. hypoglossum.
Spineless butcher's broom
Ruscus hypoglossum
Ruscus hypoglossum, the spineless butcher's broom, is a low, evergreen shade shrub in the Asparagaceae family, native to woodlands of southern Europe and Asia Minor. Unlike its spiny relative Ruscus aculeatus, its broad, glossy cladodes (leaf-like flattened stems) are soft and unarmed, making it a popular groundcover for dark corners of gardens and shady borders.
Firecracker Plant
Russelia equisetiformis
Russelia is a perennial shrub known for its slender, green, cascading branches that resemble a horse's tail or fireworks. Its tubular flowers, typically in vibrant red hues, are produced in abundance and are highly attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. It is an extremely versatile plant, excellent for hanging baskets, retaining walls, or as ground cover on slopes.
Fringed Rue
Ruta chalepensis
Ruta chalepensis, commonly known as Fringed Rue or Egyptian Rue, is a perennial evergreen aromatic shrub in the family Rutaceae, native to the Mediterranean basin, North Africa, and the Middle East. It grows to 40–80 cm tall, bearing finely pinnate grey-green leaves with a strong pungent scent and clusters of small yellow flowers in summer. The plant contains furanocoumarins, alkaloids, and flavonoids that confer potent medicinal properties but also significant toxicity. It causes phototoxic dermatitis on skin contact followed by sun exposure, and ingestion in large amounts can cause severe organ toxicity. It is widely used in traditional medicine and holds deep cultural significance as a protective talisman.
Rue
Ruta graveolens
Rue (Ruta graveolens) is a perennial shrub known for its strong aroma and medicinal properties. It has finely divided, grayish-green leaves and small, cream or yellowish flowers that appear in summer. It is a hardy plant, but requires attention due to its toxicity.
Annual Pearlwort
Sagina apetala
Sagina apetala is a small annual or biennial herbaceous plant that forms low, dense tufts. It is frequently found in urban environments, growing in sidewalk cracks, walls, and compacted sandy soils. Its leaves are linear and its flowers are tiny, usually greenish and without visible petals, which gives it the specific name 'apetala'. It is an extremely resilient and colonizing plant.
Procumbent pearlwort
Sagina procumbens
Sagina procumbens (procumbent pearlwort) is a perennial, creeping herb from the pink family (Caryophyllaceae), native to Europe, Western and Central Asia, and Northwest Africa. It forms dense, hairless, moss-like mats thanks to stems that root at the nodes and spread rapidly vegetatively. The leaves are linear, 1-2 cm long. Small, solitary flowers have 4-5 sepals and 4-5 small white petals (sometimes absent) with 4 free stigmas. The plant tolerates trampling exceptionally well, which is why it is commonly found in lawns, cracks between paving stones, and in moist flower pots.
Arrowhead
Sagittaria sagittifolia
The common arrowhead (Sagittaria sagittifolia) is a perennial aquatic and marsh plant belonging to the Alismataceae family, native to marshes, lakes, and slow-moving waters across Europe and Asia. It is named for its distinctive arrowhead-shaped leaves. While these leaves rise above the water, long, ribbon-like leaves also develop submerged. In summer, it produces tall flower stalks bearing flowers with three white petals and purple centers. It is a popular choice for decorating the edges of garden ponds and boggy areas.
Crack willow
Salix × fragilis
Salix × fragilis, the crack willow, is a fast-growing deciduous tree native to Eurasia, common along rivers, marshes and wet ground. It reaches around 15 m and is named for its twigs, which snap off cleanly and readily root where they land.
goat willow
Salix caprea
Salix caprea, commonly known as goat willow or pussy willow, is a robust deciduous tree or large shrub native to Europe and Western Asia. It is most famous for its soft, silky-grey catkins that emerge in early spring, which eventually turn yellow with pollen, providing a vital early nectar source for bees and other pollinators. The leaves are broader than most other willows, with a felt-like underside.
Pink Pussy Willow
Salix chaenomeloides
Salix chaenomeloides, also known as pink or Japanese pussy willow, is a deciduous shrub or small tree from the Salicaceae family, native to Japan, Korea, and China. It is cultivated for its striking, large catkins that are initially silvery-pink and darken to black over time. The catkins appear in late winter and early spring on glossy, dark red shoots, before the plant leafs out. The most famous cultivar is 'Mt. Aso', valued in gardens and floral arrangements for its decorative branches.
Grey Willow
Salix cinerea
Salix cinerea, the grey willow (also called grey sallow), is a fast-establishing deciduous shrub or small tree native to Europe and western Asia. It thrives in wet, poorly drained soils along riverbanks, ditches and marshes, producing fuzzy grey-to-yellow catkins in early spring before the leaves emerge. Its dense, downy grey-green foliage and tolerance of waterlogged ground make it a valuable pioneer species for wetland restoration and a key early-season nectar source for bees.
Tea-leaved Willow
Salix phylicifolia
The tea-leaved willow (Salix phylicifolia) is a hardy deciduous shrub native to the boreal and montane regions of northern Europe, including Scotland, Ireland, and Fennoscandia. It grows along streambanks, in ditches, and in flushed upland ground, usually on moist, base-rich soils, from near sea level up to over 1,000 metres in altitude. The shrub reaches 2.5 to 4 metres in height with a bushy, spreading habit, smooth reddish-brown young stems, and thin, glossy dark green leaves with greyish undersides that resemble tea leaves, giving the species its common name. Like most willows, it is dioecious, with male and female catkins borne on separate plants; the yellow male catkins and greener female catkins appear on bare stems in early spring before the leaves unfurl, providing an important early nectar source for pollinators. Its bark is rich in salicin and related phenolic compounds that have been studied for antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidant activity, continuing a long tradition of willow bark use in folk medicine for pain and fever relief.
Purple Willow
Salix purpurea
Salix purpurea, the purple willow or purple osier, is a fast-growing deciduous shrub native to Europe, North Africa, and temperate Asia. It forms dense thickets of slender, purple-tinted stems and narrow grey-green leaves arranged in an unusual near-opposite pattern for a willow. Purple-red catkins appear on bare branches in early spring before the leaves emerge, turning golden as they release pollen. Long prized by basket weavers for its flexible, colorful osier rods, it is equally valued in modern landscapes for erosion control along streambanks and as a fast, low-maintenance ornamental hedge or screen.
Basket Willow
Salix viminalis
Salix viminalis, commonly known as basket willow or common osier, is a fast-growing deciduous shrub or small tree native to Europe and western/central Asia. Prized for centuries for its long, flexible, unbranched shoots, it is the classic species used in traditional basket weaving and wickerwork. It thrives in damp, wet ground along riverbanks and wetlands, forming dense thickets of slender silvery-green leaves and, in early spring, soft grey catkins that appear before the foliage. Its vigorous growth and tolerance of coppicing make it a popular choice for biomass production, erosion control on riverbanks, and living willow structures in gardens.
