Is this playable by PCS playing a Wild Shaped Druid in plant form? Or is it banned?
I say RAI, no. So ask your GM/expect table variation.
Oh hey, another one of these. It's been what, a whole month since the last one? That's got to be a record of some kind.
Anyway, the general consensus of the boards seems to be, "You shouldn't be able to, but by RAW you can."

I think just as a general rule, any time a specific choice for something is vastly, absurdly, and unreasonably better than literally all the other choices- you probably shouldn't expect to be able to do it unless you clear it with your GM first.
There are almost 0 instances in which you could take it without having it be banned.
I say almost because some of the posters here go pretty high power in their stuff.

And the thorns and vines are special abilities of Green Man so you end up getting
1. Darkvision
2. Low-light vision
3. Two slams at 1d8+STR
4. Able to spellcast if you have Schew Materials and/ or Natural Spell feats.
5. Ability score adjustments and other resistances granted to a medium size plant creature by spell. I.e. Resist electricity 20 when plant shape II and DR 15/Slashing when plant shape III
6. +10 to disguise checks
7. Equipment melded because you still transform into a plant form and it doesn't matter the humanlike appearance (no armor and shield bonuses), I'd allow to retain the weapon.
Ya that's not that great at all. I think i'd pass on this form.
