List of Perennials by Landscaping Site - Woodland
from Landscaping with Perennials by Emily Brown. 5th printing 1989 by Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-063-0
Her ideas about Perennials (a plant that lasts for more than 2 growing seasons) include Herbaceous Perennials and Evergreen Perennials, and most of the other plant types except Annuals and Biennials:-

vegetables (Asparagus - It is widely cultivated as a herbaceous vegetable crop, Crambe),
true sedge (Carex),
bamboo (Arundinaria),
subshrub (Eriogonum),
reed (Arundo),
shrubs (Artemisia - Hardy Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs, Rubus - Most of these plants have woody stems with prickles like roses),
"Mostly large shrubs or trees" (Aralia)
fern (Adiantum),
climber (Clematis) and
bulb (Lilium - genus of herbaceous flowering plants growing from bulbs)
as well.
