Tree of Cheem
The Forest of Cheem are a group of intelligent, humanoid, trees, descended from the rain forests of Earth. The trees of Cheem look like humanoids with large, intricate heads and wood-like skin. They have retractable vines on their arms, but they aren't supposed to show it in public. The trees of Cheem are made of wood and are therefore highly flammable.
According to the Doctor, they are of huge financial importance due to their land holdings and forests on various planets; and they have "roots" everywhere. Because of this, several trees of Cheem were found on Platform One in 5,000,000,000 to watch the destruction of Earth. They The group of Trees seen on Platform One was led by Jabe Ceth Ceth Jafe and also included Coffa and Lute.
