The type species P. divaricatus is a divaricate shrub which grows at the edges of salt marshes. The other species, P. regius is a tree which in juvenile stage may be divaricate (subsp. regius) or not (subsp. chathamica). These are the only species recognized currently.

Divaricate means branching, or separation, or a degree of separation. The angle between branches is wide.

The culms are long. The panicles are long and often consist of a single spikelet. The pubescent or glabrous lemmas are long, with bluntly angled margins. The awns can become divaricate when mature.

Richea gunnii is a common montane shrub that grows in boggy areas. It is an erect shrub, 30–100 cm high. The branches are divaricate. Mature stems become bare of leaves and show prominent annular scars.
|

This species thrives in deeply shaded areas. The shiny, dark green leaves are x in size and are conspicuously veined. The white flowers are produced from August to October. They are long, and become divaricate near the anther.

Allocasuarina ramosissima is a shrub of the genus Allocasuarina native to a small area in the western Wheatbelt region of Western Australia. The dioecious divaricate shrub typically grows to a height of . It is found gravelly lateritic soils.
|
|
The stipules are almost microscopic. The branches are also very small, about 10mm in diameter and numerous, which makes the shrub dense. The branches divaricate, growing in many directions. Furthermore, they are rigid which creates the twiggy appearance.
|
|
The divaricate, spreading and prickly shrub typically grows to a height of . It blooms from June to October and produces yellow flowers. The shrub has slender, spinescent, pruinose branchlets. The majority of older phyllodes are shed giving it an open twiggy appearance.

Phacelia divaricata is a species of phacelia known by the common name divaricate phacelia. It is endemic to California, where it grows in the coastal hills and mountain ranges around the San Francisco Bay Area and to the north. It grows in chaparral, woodland, grassland, and other local habitat.
|
|
They also have ribbed surface which is also rough and scaberulous as well. The panicle itself is open and ovate, and is long while its divaricate branches are long. The panicle branches are capillary and carry distant spikelets. The spikelets themselves are ovate, just like panicles and are long and are long.
|

It has dwarf filiform (threadlike) fronds that are typically in length and only wide, tapering slightly along the length. The branches are arranged in a divaricate-alternately and each branch is loosely closed with oppositely arranged scales called ramenta. It is similar in appearance to Caulerpa okamurai which has a larger range of distribution.

Prunus fasciculata grows up to high, exceptionally to , with many horizontal (divaricate) branches, generally with thorns (spinescent), often in thickets. The bark is grey and without hairs (glabrous). fascicles. Branches with smooth grey bark bear clusters of narrow leaves and small flowers. The leaves are long, narrow (linear), with a broad, flatten tip that tapers to a narrow base, (spatulate, oblanceolate), arranged on very short leaf stem (petiole) like bundles of needles (fascicles).

Navarretia divaricata is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common name mountain navarretia, or divaricate navarretia. It is native to western North America from British Columbia to Montana to California, where it grows in open habitat types. It is a hairy, glandular annual herb producing a stem with pairs or whorls of purple-brown branches no more than about 10 centimeters tall. The leaves are divided into threadlike lobes.

The most common species include Ceiba parviflora, Bursera simaruba, Cedrela odorata, Swietenia macrophylla, Spondias mombin, Brosimum alicastrum, Coccoloba barbadens, Pithecellobium arboreum, Lysiloma divaricate, Phoeba tampicensis, Acacia coulteri and Ficus spp. These forests are also exploited for wood and other products, including traditional handcrafts. Low growing plants are used to feed livestock. Little is known about the ecosystems of these forests, but it is known that these areas are important to the regulation of water in area rivers.

Erysimum siliculosum flowers from May to July, depending on the altitude. Racemes are corymbose, densely flowered, ebracteate or rarely lowermost few flowers bracteate, elongated considerably in fruit. Fruiting pedicels are ascending or divaricate-ascending, (2-)4–6 mm, stout, narrower than fruit. Sepals are oblong-linear, (6-)7-9(-10) × 1–2 mm, united, persistent well after fruit maturity, strongly saccate. Petals are bright yellow, obovate or broadly spatulate, (1.1-)1.4-1.8(-2) cm × 5–8 mm, apex rounded; claw distinct, subequaling sepals. Filaments yellow, 6–10 mm; anthers linear, 2–3 mm.

However, in some scenarios it becomes impossible to complete the game. A major feature of the game is the single large and detailed world it offers for exploration. The subterranean setting is explained through the backstory in which the crew of the Pericles have set up a base in a natural cave system, with Triax having his own base in caves deep below. The artificial intelligence features innovative routines such as creatures demonstrating awareness of nearby noises, line-of-sight vision through the divaricate caves and tunnels, and memory of where the player was last seen, etc.

The branches of this shrub are woody and rigid, divaricate, and sometimes spinescent. The thick and rather fleshy leaves are alternate, shortly petiolate, obovate- cuneate to broadly ovate in shape, with a wedge-shaped base, margin toothed except at the base, about 2-6mm long by 2-6mm broad. Carl Ernst Otto Kuntze (1843–1907) in 1891 first published a description of the genus in "Revisio Generum Plantarum" 2: 461, based on the earlier description of Sutera by Albrecht Wilhelm Roth (1757–1834) in 1821. The species was first described in 1904 as Sutera ramosissima by the botanist and mathematician William Philip Hiern in Harvey's Fl. Cap.

Pittosporum obcordatum prefer lowland kahikatea/matai forest, terrestrial, or eastern lowland alluvial forest. According to Clarkson & Clarkson (1994) ecological investigations in North Island's six locations, Pittosporum obcordatum prefers habitat is river flats, usually "near backswamps and margins of oxbow lakes and cut-off meanders", with <200 meters altitude, 9~15 degree Celsius mean annual temperatures, 1000 mm~1500 mm mean annual rainfall and frequent raining in winter and drought summer. Pittosporum obcordatum also found in primary and secondary forest, treeland, and scrub which usually dominated by Dacrycarpus dacrydioides and/or Prumnopitys taxifolia with abundance and diversity of divaricating shrubs or trees. So it can be seen as a health-indicator species of divaricate-rich vegetation.

The fleshy drupe is spread by frugivory, where the spread of plant growth is caused by animals such as lizards and birds that help regenerate Korokia with seeds that fall to the ground. It has spring blooms of small fragrant yellow flowers followed by red berries in autumn and with round ripe fruits that turn bright red or yellow in late summer. Also, this plant can be the focal point of every garden and research shows that the abundance of divaricate bushes can be a mechanism to avoid photosynthesis when carrying out photosynthesis under certain winter conditions. This branched architecture provides protection for the leaves of green plants in bright sunlight during winter.

Androgynous inflorescences usually with female flowers at proximal nodes and male flower at distal nodes. Flowers unisexual, apetalous, disc absent. Male flowers very small, shortly pedicellate, globose in bud; calyx parted into 4 small valvate sepals; stamens 4–8(–16) on a slightly raised receptacle, filaments free or basally connate; anthers with divaricate or pendulous thecae, unilocular, more or less elongated and later becoming vermiform; pollen grains oblate-spheroidal, with 3–5 pseudopores, tectate, psilate; pistillode absent. Female flowers generally sessile or subsessile, pedicellate in a few species; calyx of 3– (4–5) small sepals imbricate, connate at base; ovary of [1–2]3 carpels, surface often muricate, pubescent or papillose; ovules solitary in each cell, anatropes; styles reddish, free or basally connate, several times divided into filiform segment, rarely bifid or entire; staminodes absent.
