Here you can read about the flora in the Daintree Rainforest, Australia: http://www.daintreerainforest.com/flora.html. They say on this site, that the Daintree rainforest is home to one of the highest populations of primitive flowering plants in the world. These ancient plant families may hold secrets to a number of unanswered questions regarding the origins of the flowering plants - plants on which the human race depends for food and medicines.
In the Daintree Rainforest many of the plants are deadly poisonous. Medicine plants are often poisonous if wrongly used. There are also plants that are harmful when touched.

I'm afraid that your specific question about iranian libraries offering an Ask a librarian -service is too difficult for me to answer, since i can't read arabic letters and can not therefore search the websites of iranian libraries. It might be a good idea to ask for assistance in the National library of Iran, http://www.nlai.ir/ . There is an international Ask a librarian service Questionpoint.org, that migt be able to help you http://www.questionpoint.org . In Sweden there is a multilingual Ask a librarian -service, they do not yet offer service in arabic, but they are planning to do so, maybe they could help you in your search. The address is http://www.eref.se/se-admin/vrleb_question_patron.asp?virtual_desk_id=43 .
