• Akebia trifoliata — A species of deciduous, woody climbing vine closely related to the chocolate vine, native to the mountainous and forested regions of East Asia; it is structurally distinguished by its compound foliage consisting of exactly three large leaflets with slightly wavy or lobed margins, and by the rougher, darker texture of its stems' bark. Its unisexual flowers exhibit a deep dark-purple, almost black hue, and the large berries produced in autumn have an exotic, split-pod appearance, housing black seeds embedded in a sweet gelatinous pulp valued in ornamental horticulture and as a local delicacy.
• Alchemilla mollis — A species of perennial herbaceous plant in the genus Alchemilla, native to southeastern Europe and the Caucasus, widely cultivated globally as an ornamental garden plant. It is structurally recognized by its large, rounded leaves, velvety and soft to the touch (due to a dense layer of fine hairs), featuring a bright chartreuse green color, and by abundant clusters of tiny, golden-yellow flowers appearing in early summer.
• Alley — A narrow traffic path, specially built inside a park, public garden, cemetery, or between urban neighborhood buildings, usually intended for pedestrian use. Structurally, an alley is often bordered on both sides by trees, ornamental shrubs, or flower beds, serving to facilitate strolling and aesthetically organize green spaces.
• Walkways — The plural form of the feminine noun alee; narrow traffic paths specially built within parks, public gardens, cemeteries, or urban residential areas, intended primarily for pedestrian use. Structurally, these spaces are frequently paved, graveled, or asphalted and symmetrically bordered by trees, hedges, or decorative flower beds to guide strolling.
• Amelanchier arborea — A species of small tree or large shrub in the genus Amelanchier, Rosaceae family, native to eastern North America, commonly known as the 'downy serviceberry' or 'common serviceberry'. This plant reaches larger dimensions than other related species and is structurally distinguished by smooth, gray bark, young leaves covered in fine downy pubescence, and pendulous clusters of white flowers that bloom in early spring before the leaves fully unfold.
