Some notable ones are: the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden (in Genesis), the olive branch found by the dove after the Flood (also Genesis), the Burning Bush (Exodus), bitter herbs (Exodus), a rose among the thorns (Song of Songs). Adam was cursed to eat thistles in Genesis 3.

The seven types of produce with which the Land of Israel is said to be blessed (Deuteronomy) are: wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, and dates.

On Sukkot (Tabernacles), the following "Four Species" are taken together: an etrog (citron), a palm branch, myrtle branches and willow branches.

Cedar wood and hyssop were used to purify a leper and for the red heifer. Exodus 30 mentions myrrh, cinnamon, calamus, cassia, stacte, onycha, galbanum and frankincense as ingredients.
