'''Floro Sapiens''' are a race of plant-like creatures that appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Their name is a pun on the scientific name for humans, ''Homo sapiens'' (Latin for "wise man"), replacing the genus name for ''Flora'', meaning "plant life" (making their full name "wise plant" in Latin). They slightly resemble [[Crazee Dayzee]]s, except with stem-like bodies. Their leader is [[King Croacus IV]], who goes crazy after the [[Cragnon]] race inadvertently pollutes the Floro Sapiens' water with their wastes. The pollution sickens other Floro Sapiens as well, and in retaliation, they begin to kidnap Cragnons, brainwashing them with [[Floro Sprout]]s and having them help mine the [[Floro Caverns]] for jewels for King Croacus' palace. Floro Sapiens appear to speak with typical [[wikipedia:Hippie|hippie]] accents, as well as share other counterculture mannerisms such as opposing pollution and being associated with flowers.

Floro Sapiens' petals come in three colors: yellow, orange, and purple. Statistic-wise, all Floro Sapiens are the same, however and are no stronger than any other. They attack by throwing their heads, and even if the head is destroyed, the bodies can continue functioning.

Throughout Chapters [[Village of Crag|5-1]] and [[Gap of Crag|5-2]], [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], and [[Tippi]] find themselves chasing down a band of Floro Sapiens carrying Cragnon prisoners. The Floro Sapiens will attack the player unless they are wearing a dead Floro Sprout on their head, fooling the flowers into thinking they are brainwashed and harmless. Eventually, the party discovers the secret entrance to the Floro Caverns and eventually defeat King Croacus, uncovering the truth about the pollution. The entire story is recorded by the Cragnon documentarian [[Flint Cragley]], who vows to show the footage to his people and put a stop to the pollution, thus ending the feud between the two races.
