The Spitfire Tree is a fictional plant created for the film The Future is Wild. The spitfire tree inhabits the tropical rainforests of Antarctica 100 million year from now. The ancestor of this tree is never given. All that is provided is it evolved from elsewhere and dispersed into Antarctica the same way as modern trees colonize the Pacific islands. The spitfire tree has a stout trunk and frond-like leaves sproting from single stalks. Flowers cover the surface of the trunk. Unlike most flowering plants, the spitfire tree has separate male and female flowers.
The spitfire tree sparks the evolution of other species of wildlife. The spitfire bird is a flutterbird that pollenates the tree. In return, the tree collects pools of highly reactive chemicals that explode in a corrosive acid when mixed (hence the separate male and female flowers). The spitfire bird collects both chemicals to spray at attackers, like the falconfly. To counter this evolution, the Spitfire Beetle imitates these flowers and attacks spitfire birds before they could spray acid.

EMINIMA is a set of free server and client software - this is the basic component of today's free Internet/LAN applications.
EMINIMA also includes minimalist, cross-platform set of tools for delivering content, so when used, the implications are:
(1) Any entity (school, LGU or NGO) with Pentium I (the oldest PC nowadays) and 64 MB memory will be able to enjoy uptodate content.
(2) Any entity will be able to develop content, too, and put the new content in a new CD (but if there is no CD-burner, they just copy the new content to the hard disk).
(3) A national entity (e.g., education, ICT) can foster competition for content creation so that schools, for example, can enjoy multiple content offerings and deploy all those contents in its PC. Such offerings will be low-cost (say, $2 per CD, deployable in the whole school).
(4) When there are many CD-loads of alternative content, virtual internet will be achieved in the most far-flung school and the school's interconnection to the Internet core will not anymore be a precondition to using elearning (or egovernance, for that matter).
(5) Teachers will regain prominence as the facilitators of learning, as they will assume the role of leading/mediating both the creation and exchange of content, using EMINIMA tools.
The idea of Eminima was started by Prof. Rufino Mananghaya and published at www.littlecandle.net on March 1, 2005.
