Plants were a wide variety of organisms, including familiar types such as trees, herbs, bushes, grasses, vines, ferns, mosses, and green algae. Plants made up an important part of many a planet's total amount of living matter. Anaxes, for example, was covered in stunning red-colored plant life.[1] The humid world of Felucia housed immense primitive plants, including enormous pitcher plants and leafy growths.[2] Although the planet situated in the heart of the galaxy seemed to be barren, its heart contained floating islands teeming with luminescent plants.[3]
Some plants, like the carnivorous reeksa, could be used for their medicinal properties.[4] The herbs of Maridun were also used as medicine by the Lurmen healers. They helped mend Anakin Skywalker's injuries when he arrived on their planet.[5] Certain plants were grown for ornamental purposes. For example, the Tatooinian moisture farmer Beru Lars used to grow purple blossoms in the courtyard of her homestead.[6]
