Well, heres a list of some of the words i got out of the root for plant :

Him - having to do with plants

    Hima - plant
    Himeka - garden (group of plants)
    Himura - plantsman, nurseryman (one who works with plants for a living)
    Himisa - botany student (one who studies plants)
    Himisura - Botanist  (one who studies plants for a living )
    Himona - seedling (offspring from a plant)
    Himuna - a planter, a plant pot, etc. (a container for plants)
    Himsha - dwarfed plant....indirectly: Bonsai (a small plant)
    Himiba - tree (a large plant, very vague, i know)

Hopefully this comes out right (it's supposed to be a list)! At least one
of those examples is a bit vague on meaning. Himiba could be a tree, a
large bush, an abnormally large plant, etc. I could probably compound
Himiba with the word for wood (i dont have it yet :)) to come up with tree.
