Durable plantforms are seen in numerous rooms in the Temple Grounds in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Scanning them reveals that they are adapted to a low-light environment, and were planted for decoration by the Luminoth; this may suggest that they are either bio-engineered, of extraterrestrial origin, or both.
The plants can also be seen unaltered in the Sky Temple Grounds, but are unscannable. Whether or not the Luminoth or any other sentient life forms planted these on Dark Aether is unknown.

Scan[]
"Bioscan complete. Durable plantform adapted to low-light environment. The presence of a plant container suggests that it was placed here for decoration, possibly by local sentients."
Trivia[]
- Both the Torvus Bearerpod and the Shredder are also called "durable plantform" in their temporary scan.
