It's been a while since I read the book, but I think the leaf on the cover is a Gingko. We've got millions of them where I live. Come to think of it, I think that's one of the things I enjoyed about it. It seems to me that one of the species dealt with, the Gingko, has a pod that is unable to be eaten by current animals, and the author postulates that a now extint animal spread its seeds- until man decided to use the tree. Avocados are also mentioned. Which is why I was reminded of this book, when you mentioned The Botany of Desire, because some of the ghosts are now helped by man, instead of the animals they originally evolved to "use".
