Flora, Fungi, & Bacteria of Hyperborea

This page lists the flora of Hyperborea, including fungi and bacteria.
= Plantae =
This section contains plant flora in its more narrow sense.
== Angiosperms ==
Angiosperms contain all seed-bearing, flowering plants.
=== Ericales ===
==== Ericaceae ====
Vaccinium
* Eastern bilberry (Vaccinium orientalum): a dwarf berry-producing shrub that grows in the colder eastern regions of Hyperborea from acidic, coniferous forests up to alpine and lowland tundra.
=== Fabales ===
==== Fabaceae ====
Hedysarum
* Round-leaved milkvetch (H. rotundifolia): A wild legume and one of the staple food sources for bears. Distinguished by its nearly circular leaves.
* River milkvetch (H. vulgare): A domesticated species likely descended from H. rotundifolia that has larger tubers, shorter inflorescences, and is grown on fertile riverbeds for its tubers.
=== Fagales ===
==== Betulaceae ====
Betula
* Sweet Birch (Betula sacchara): A species of birch common in Hyperborea that is known for its sweet sap which is abundantly produced in spring.
* Snow birch (Betula nivalis): A dwarf birch that is common in the boreal forest and shrub tundra.
=== Lamiales ===
==== Oleaceae ====
Fraxinus
* Grey Ash (Fraxinus glaucus): An ash species that is common in temperate Hyperborea and rare near the temperate-boreal transition forests.
=== Poales ===
==== Poaceae ====
Hierachloe
* Arctic sweet grass (H. arctica): A hardy grass that grows across the entirety of Hyperborea. It is known for its sweet smell, and is sometimes used to flavour teas and sweet soups.
==== Typhaceae ====
Typha
* Hyperborean Typha (T. hyperborea): A semi-domesticated cattail species with a large, nutritious tuber.
=== Solanales ===
==== Solanaceae ====
Solanum
* Hyperborean Potato (S. tuberosum): A crop taken by early Norsumerians for food cultivation. A staple of the Norsumerian diets in lower latitudes and altitudes. 
=== Malpighiales ===
==== Salicaceae ====
Populus
* Yellow Poplar (P. flavus): The most common poplar in Hyperborea. It inhabits dry, warm areas from the temperate forest into the boreal forest, where it is locally dominant. Its inner bark is notably yellow.
Salix
* Hyperborean Willow (S. hyperborea): A shrub that is commonly found in alpine regions in southern Hyperborea, and very frequent in the upper boreal and shrub tundra.
* Swamp Willow (S. palustris): A large willow tree common in wet areas in temperate Hyperborea.
=== Zingiberales ===
==== Musaceae ====
Pseudomusa
* Snow Banana (P. nivalis): Common throughout the northern temperate forest through to the southern tundra, the snow banana grows a cluster of yellow fruit atop a one to two metre tall stalk. The fruit is tough until a hard frost renders it soft, making it a nutritious snack throughout the winter.
== Gymnosperms ==
Gymnosperms contain all seed-bearing, non-flowering plants, most notably conifer trees.
=== Pinales ===
==== Picaceae ====
Picea
* The polar spruce (P. polaris): the most common spruce species across northeastern Hyperborea, including the [XXX] isles.
==== Pinaceae ====
Pinus
* The many-needled pine (P. multifolia): A pine that commonly grows on the southern coast of the [mainland] from the temperate forest into the boreal forest. It is distinguished by its variable number of needles per cluster—ranging from 5 to 7 on a single individual.
== Nonvascular and seedless plants ==
This heading is a sink for all nonvascular plants (mosses) and vascular but seedless plants (ferns).
=== Bryophyta (mosses) ===
=== Polypodiophyta (ferns) ===
= Fungi =
This section contains all species of the fungi kingdom, including mushrooms, moulds and yeasts. They are 
== Ascomycota ==
Ascomycetes or sac fungi include morels, truffels, yeasts and lichen.
=== Hypocreales ===
Got any fungi turning insects into zombies? Those go here.
* Kjovuc. A Hypocreales with many varying strands. Known mostly for emitting a soft glow, and having various parasitic and intelligence boosting effects. Found throughout Hyperborea, but particularly in its underground cave networks.
=== Leotiomycetes ===
These cause plant diseases like mildew.
=== Saccharomycetes ===
These are yeasts. If you brew beer or make wine, you can't go without 'em! Pathogens like Candida also fall into this category.
=== Pezizales ===
These contain cup fungi, morels and truffles.
=== Other ascomycota ===
Earth tongues, pneumocystis, or other special ascomycota? They go in here.
== Basidiomycota ==
Basidiomycetes or "higher fungi" include mushrooms, puffballs, bracket fungi, polypores and others.
=== Agaricales (gilled mushrooms) ===
These are your typical mushrooms, including agaricus, amanita, shiitake and more.
=== Polyporales (polypores) ===
These are mostly wood-rotting fungi found on dead or dying trees. They make great firestarters, and some are edible.
=== Ustilaginales (smut) ===
These are plant parasites, especially affecting grasses (wheat, rye, corn, sugarcane).
=== Other basidiomycota ===
Found any rust fungi or jelly fungi? They go in here!
== Other fungi ==
Any chytrids, blastocadiomycota, glomeromycota, zygomycota go in here.
= Bacteria =
This section contains all bacteria known to Hyperborea. Keep in mind that the concept of bacteria can't really exist until your culture has access to microscopes.
