This pack contains 35 .3ds files, being 5 variations on a palm like shrub, with 7 growth stages for each variation. This is since forrests are not usualy composed of bushes that are all the same size, rather there are bushes at all stages of growth.
These models will probably require a bit of work to get in game as they are quite polygon heavy (100+ polys for a tiny little nub, over 9000 polys for a full shrub) and texture light. To look and perform their best you will probably want to optomise them for your engine and use some new textures for them.

I'm thinking that one way we might be able to make these plant packs usable in games is to render them as transparent pngs and use them as ground details. Particularly handy is the fact that you can turn them to any angle you want, so you can take a single plant model and get a number of different viewing angles, thus preventing your details from all looking the same. As you said, 9,000 polys may be a bit much for a shrub, particularly if you're showing dense vegetation.
