Bamboo is a group of woody perennial evergreen plants in the true grass family Poaceae, subfamily Bambusoideae, tribe Bambuseae. Some of its members are giants, forming by far the largest members of the grass family. New shoots of some of the larger species can grow over 1 meter per day.


Bougainvilleas are thorny, woody, vines growing anywhere from 1-12 meters tall, scrambling over other plants with their hooked thorns. The thorns are tipped with a black, waxy substance that is easily left in the flesh of an unsuspecting victim. They are evergreen where rainfall occurs all year, or deciduous if there is a dry season. The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4-13 cm long and 2-6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colors associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery.

Salago is abundant in the Philippines, in thickets and primary or secondary forest at low and medium. This plant is a shrub 1 to 3 meters in height, with tough bark. The leaves are opposite, ovate, 5 to 10 centimeters long and 3 to 4 centimeters wide (but frequently smaller, especially the upper-most ones), pointed at the apex and rounded at the base. The flowers are yellow, tubular, about 1.5 centimeters long, and meters thick, shining, and yellow-red, and contains a solitary, large seed enclosed by a fleshy skin.
