very little sunlight makes it to the rainforest floor
In the Mixed Forest you find a lot of woodland. This includes Broad Leaf Trees, Oak, Elm, Ash, Linden, Maple, and a few Conifers.
Not many plants grow under casuarinas because of the needles. Plants dont have to grow everywhere, Apart from human cleared areas casuarina needles create some of the few gaps in the forest for animals to hang out in. I could tell you which species grow naturally under them in my area. But they may not be endemic to your area. There are a number of invasive weeds that are able to grow under Casuarinas. These are terrible plants and I certainly dont want people to grow them. Ehrharta erecta, Cyperus, Bidens pilosa. Plants can grow from runners or suckers in Casuarina needles also. An example of a tree that can grow by suckering through Casuarina needles is the Casuarina. =] . Go out and see what grows under them naturally in your area, and if you are going to grow some yourself insure that they are provenant to your area. read - What is provenant? I only propagate endemic provenant indigenous plants. I dislike people who treat plants like toys. "OW Look isn't that JESSAMINE pretty , I'm going to plant it everywhere because I'm an *&^%$#@". Know what I mean?
North Africa has a harsh desert climate, with high temperatures, limited rainfall, and poor soil quality. These conditions make it difficult for many plants to thrive, limiting the diversity of plant species that can grow in the region. The plants that do survive in North Africa have adapted to these harsh conditions, such as cacti and other succulents that store water to survive in arid environments.
Because not all of them find conditions that are suitable for germination. After germination a number will die or be eaten by pests, killed or damaged mechanically, die because of drought, frost etc. The more seeds the greater chance for the survival of a few plants.
Plants need quite a few things to grow, it needs sun, carbon dioxide and water to make food, the food is glucose this process is called photosynthesis. The "Vacuole" (a particular part of the plant), stores all the food. Water is also needed every so often, some plants for example a cactus, can store water inside it's body for up to a few years maybe, but other plants would need water every day.
Few plants grow tall on the forest floor because there is a lack of sunlight.
Because the tall trees cover the plants. Thus they cannot get enough sun light
For the few plants that exist in the rainforest, they have to spread out and have big, broad leaves to capture the small amount of sunlight that actually reaches the forest floor. In general, there aren't many plants that grow on the forest floor of the tropical rainforest because of the lack on sunlight and due to the fact that most trees and other vegetation grow tall creating a thick canopy. The only time plants and small vegetation might grow on the forest floor is when a taller tree falls down creating a hole in the forest canopy. Sunlight is then able to reach the forest floor and some plants can establish themselves and start growing.
No there are many many plants in a rain forest.
The Canopy of leaves is so dense, that there's very little sunlight that reach the forest floor. And w/o sunlight, there's not much plant life.
By definition a woodland has many plants.
There are millions of plants in the rain forest. To name a few, there are the Bromeliads, Epiphytes, Saprophytes, Lianas, and Orchids.

One of them is an orchid.
There are four layers comprising tropical rainforests. The emergent layer consists of a few very tall trees that grow above the canopy. The canopy layer has most of the largest trees and about half of the plant life. The understory layer contains the vast majority of animals and insects. The forest floor has few plants but consists of decaying plant and animal matter, as well as various fungi.

There are a few plants that grow better with morning sunlight. Some of the plants are spring bloomers, pansy and sunflowers.
