"Sir, I.... have never seen plants like these before."
"That is because organisms you are looking at are not plants. Well, they are photoautotrophs like plants, but they do not share common ancestor with earth life forms"
“Then, you mean that they are alien creatures?”
“Both yes and no. They are remnants of an indigenous ecosystem that existed before the mass extinction occurred. Semi-fossilized materials suggest that the extinction happened approximately thirty thousand years ago, a very recent event geologically.”
“So, they are aliens in our perspective, but considering the natural history of this planet, it is us that are aliens?”
“Yes.”
“Then what caused the extinction, and introduction of earth life forms?”
“As of yet, that remains an unsolved mystery. Some say it was an act of humans, strongly supported by our culture, written language, and religion. However, it is apparent that humans do not possess such technological prowess; as you know, they are still struggling with terraforming of Youkali III, and instead, many have chosen to live in our planet. Hence we have to fit the puzzle with clues gained from places like this.... But I fear that these clues won’t last long. Look at this grass I have in my hand. Can you identify it?”
“Yes. It is cogon grass, Imperata cylindrica. Why?”
“These are one of the greatest threats in conserving alien 'vegetation' in this region. They are much more efficient in fixating carbon compared to alien species, thanks to their morphology and C4 pathways. And their flammability is an issue, as alien vegetation of this region is not adapted to bush fires. In other regions, there are other problematic species, like Miscanthus spp. or Psidium cattleianum, all rapidly outcompeting alien 'flora'. The mass extinction, although has been slowed down considerably, is an ongoing phenomenon.”
The wolf interrupted.
“Sir?”
“What is it, Mr. Dimitrioglu?”
“I have found a bizarre.... thing. At first I thought it was an insect, but it lacks legs, antennas, and eyes, everything....”
“Mr. Dimitrioglu, that is a pseudogametophyte of one of the alien ‘flora’ growing here. Release it so it can find its mate and fertilize, please.”
A drawing on my fictional world, though depicting a period much later than periods I tend to depict.
I blame Tiberian Sun for this.

With very few exceptions, most of them cause varying degrees of allergies when ingested by both humans and ‘dog’s(they are not exactly Canis lupus familiaris, as you can see), fatal in quite a lot of cases. In some cases, species of alien ‘flora’ that propagate or fertilize through wind vector, can cause anaphylaxis to those who inhale air laden with alien cells.
