Zero for five here.

A couple of good additions would be "Midworld" and "Mid-Flynx" by Alan
Dean Foster.
https://www.amazon.com/Midworld-Alan-Dean-Foster/dp/0345310179/

Many of Alan Dean Foster's books contain perilous plant life.

Also, there is the "Silent Running" movie that was a classic in the 1972.

I have a vague recollection of a story (it might have been a comic book) about some hideous tree aliens, but the good guys won using termites.
