* Cosmo in SonicX SonicX.
* Ayame and Momiji from OsamuTezuka's ''Lost World''. They are plants given intelligence through bioengineering and then grown into a humanoid shape in molds before being covered with artificial skin so as to pass for human. Another intelligent plant shows up in an early ''AstroBoy'' story, a tentacled flower piloting a MobileSuitHuman.

They can usually claim without irony that they are "one with nature", living in forests and surrounded by life. They might be a mystical Dryad, a [[FreakLabAccident scientist who fell into a vat of chemicals]], or a race of motile plants that just happens to look [[HumanAliens very human]] by accident or [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith design]]. Despite generally having a human shape, they may or may not be able to casually pass for human. This is because they tend to have green skin, leaves for hair, and barky skin. Interestingly, there is a big disparity between male and female plant people as the page image shows. Perhaps stemming from the [[ClassicalMythology classical]] Dryad, plant people [[OneGenderRace tend to be women]], and ''very'' attractive ones at that. Men on the other hand take more after tree than human.
