Boon Companion with Plant Companion

[Nicolas Fuchs]

I tried searching through the forums but haven't seen an answer.

Question: Does the feat Boon Companion work with the Hunter Archetype's Plant Companion? Or the Vermin Companion [Verminous Hunter Archetype]?

Boon Companion's pre-req is: Animal companion class feature or familiar class feature.
Plant Master replaces animal companion with "Plant Companion (Ex): A plant master forms a mystic bond with a plant companion. A plant master can begin play with any plant companion (see page 182 and page 26 of the Pathfinder RPG Advanced Race Guide). Except for the companion being a creature of the plant type, this ability otherwise works like the druid’s animal companion."
Now, the Plant Master no longer has the Animal companion class feature, but instead the Plant Companion feature, which "...otherwise works like the druid's animal companion. Verminous Hunter has the same text, except it's called Vermin Companion.

I would say "yes" at my table because of the part that I put in bold type. But, because I could be wrong, let's see what others have to say.
