On Avalon, there are three ecologies, Terran, Ythrian and native, but only two languages, Anglic and Planha. Thus, native organisms must be given extra-planetary names, e.g., trees include:
Terran oak;
Ythrian windnest;
Avalonian king's-crown.
"King's-crown" was unnamed before explorers and then colonists arrived on Avalon.
Other native plants are named chasuble bush and Buddha's cup. See here.
In the sea, there is atlantis weed. See here.
In caves and in flight, there are draculas. See here.
These names recur when appropriate throughout the narratives. Avalon is (like) a real place.
