Plant blindness
Plant blindness, plant awareness disparity (PAD) or lack of plant awareness is a proposed form of cognitive bias which, in its broadest meaning, is a human tendency to ignore plant species. This includes such phenomena as not noticing plants in the surrounding environment, not recognizing the importance of plant life to the whole biosphere and to human affairs, a philosophical view of plants as an inferior form of life to animals, and the inability to appreciate the unique features or aesthetics of plants.
