Abstract
In previous chapters we have introduced a wide array of natural computing algorithms and have illustrated how these fit into a broad taxonomy of algorithmic families. A recent addition to this taxonomy is a series of algorithms which are derived from studies of plant behaviours. In this chapter we initially outline a variety of interesting plant behaviours, several of which offer potential to inspire the design of computational algorithms. We then describe an illustrative sample of plant-inspired algorithms.
