• Bee Wool: Bees are the fluffiest things imaginable, they should work like little buzzy sheep in a perfect world.
  Hemp: Flammable, makes fumes that get you high.
  Cotton: Just plain ol' fabric, what? They aren't all super deadly.
  Synthleather: comes from a synth-meat plant as a byproduct? The other option is a synth-skin plant, but... that's just creepy sounding!
  Wood: [Insert dong joke here.]. So we could make olde timey space station's made of wood.
  Papyrus: Could also be made from paper just lying around the station, but where's the needless effort in that? It could burn like hemp minus the hallucinations, or be destroyed by water.
  Rubber: We have the synthetic kind, but not the regular type? This is confusing! I don't think you can make regular synth-rubber in a way that doesn't involve making cables currently anyways so this could make things more streamlined.

There are probably more obvious ones that are lost on me right now, but I think you get the idea here! The idea here is mainly to give a use for botany to the crew beyond QM/Food Staff. Everybody likes making horrible materials and coating escape in it, and now Botany could get in on the action!
