خيمر/نباتات خيمرية
Explanation:
Chimeras in botany are single organisms composed of two genetically different types of tissue. They occur in plants, on the same general basis as with animal chimeras.

http://www.answers.com/topic/chimera-plant

So in Zoology, chimera is translated as خيمر and it's حيوان خرافي له رأس أسد وجسم ماعز وذنب تنين

Also as a medical term, it's خيمر and Chimerism is خيمرية

http://www.hmc.org.qa/med_dic.asp?sbets=f&sbetf=j&sletter=C

So it could be as well النباتات الخيمرية

chimera
نبتة مهجنة - الكم


Explanation:
With no context whatsoever; it has to be one of two things: 1. A monster in Greek mythology that has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon. Please, check image at the reference below. (Hence, it could be just a symbol of illusion; الوهم

Or 2. A plant formed of the tissues of two different species mingled together and being intermediate in characteristics between the two parents.
