<pre>llPlantSystem(list plant)</pre>

Set the "plant system" parameters for the prim.

Parameters:

* '''PLANT_TEXTURE''', texture_id
** texture_id is a key or string.
** For grass, this is the billboard for the grass.
** For trees, this contains the trunk, the leaves, and the billboard.

* '''PLANT_TYPE_GRASS''', blade_size_x, blade_size_y
** No other parameters are allowed but '''PLANT_TEXTURE'''.

* '''PLANT_TYPE_TREE''', species_id
** species_id is one of '''SPECIES_PINE_1''' through '''SPECIES_WINTER_ASPEN''', integer constants 0 through 12.
** All parameters will be copied from the matching species_id in '''trees.xml''', and then modified by additional parameters in the list. This allows further savings in download, since most people will probably simply replace the texture in an existing tree.

* Additional parameters from '''trees.xml'''
** '''PLANT_DROOP''', float droop
** '''PLANT_TWIST''', float twist
** '''PLANT_BRANCHES''', float branches
** Etcetera...
