Life On Nike

A dense carpet of a soft mossy growth;

fronded pale green-blue native gymnosperm plants;

imported oaks, birches, primroses and grass;

pseudo-moss flourishing only in shade;

native insectoid flyers and awkward amphibians;

imported thrushes, bulbuls, hawks, butterflies, bees, boars, mustangs, carabao and six-legged antlered tanithars.

Thus, not all imported species are terrestroid.

(Poul Anderson, "A Tragedy of Errors.")
