The Acanthus (Acanthus ebracteatus) is a species in the genus Acanthus. It is currently classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It typically inhabits diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Ensifer arboris is a Gram-negative, nitrogen-fixing bacterium forming effective root nodules on leguminous trees in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. It inhabits the rhizosphere and root nodules of Prosopis and other acacia-like leguminous trees in tropical and subtropical environments. This bacterium converts atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available ammonia for its host trees.
