(Here's a big grab-bag of D&D plants from open game license backgrounds. Feel free to pick and choose as you wish!)

Names of Plants
Assassin Vines are more dangerous versions of the tentacle plants found in Harpy Hills. They produce sweet, blackberry-like fruit that ferments into rich, sweet wine.

Bitter Tree a ghostly tree twisted to fit Erku's standards: it grows fruit vaguely the size and shape of a human head. When eaten, these fruits (or anything made of them) can charm the consumer to do the tree's bidding, slowly corrupting them into infernal creatures if they continue to eat of the fruit. The Bitter Tree is a masterful spell-caster, creating illusions, sharing thoughts between its charmed creatures, and dominating their consciousness in order to perform whatever intimate acts the creature might have been wanting subconsciously.

Bog Creepers are roughly human-sized logs that spray a sticky, lubricating fluid when threatened.

Cavelight Moss grows in the most shadowed areas of the forest and in caves. Its feathery tendrils are prehensile, and it acts like other tentacle plants in Erku. It provides dim illumination that leaves luminescent marks on anything that it touches, harmless spores that can be cultivated for natural light.

Forest Nymphs are waif-like guardians of the trees and can be negotiated with for food and resources. They viciously attack those that would harm their homes.

Gloomflowers are tiny ebony flowers on thorny bushes. In the wild, they can cause sudden frightful images to bombard a victim. When harvested and distilled, they can be made to suppress all fears for up to four hours.

Jinmenju are huge trees bearing white apples, each of which chuckles, giggles, or howls in laughter. Eating of the fruit causes joyful dreams the next night, and all experiences for the next 24 hours are funnier than they'd normally be.

Mandragora are demonic little plant-people with vine-whipping attacks. Their sap can be used in powerful scrying spells when properly refined.

Pixie's Umbrellas are small fungi named as they're shaped. When they sense danger, they puff up and float, spinning lazily and showering slowing spores in self defense.

Treants are peaceful, tree-sized cultivators of forests. They herd the larger flora of the forest to avoid dangers or migrate to better sources of light and water.

Witchgrass is a bushy, purple grass that inhibits magic. Its burrs, which are tiny and difficult to remove, have a similar effect.
