And if yes, you can rename the main argument inside the function:

plot.summaries <- function(x, sp, ...)
{
trees <- x
rm(x)
[...]
}

This allows you to keep the object name 'trees' inside the function.

Note that the "dot dot dot" (...) argument MUST be included in this case 
(use of the generic function plot). Have a look at the Writing R Extensions 
manual: there are very useful information there when writing a package.
