Hi,

Actually, for 2D billboards there are just versions for Standard, V-Ray or Mental Ray materials. For proper use of 2D billboards the Forest Material  (http://docs.itoosoft.com/display/FORESTPACK/Forest+Material)should be used. As in case of Octane Renderer this is not supported there is no material library for it.

Anyway, if you decide to give it a try in Octane renderer, please use the Standard option - you can find it on the bottom of the Library Browser's window (please see attached screenshot).

Thanks for reporting us this "bug".

Best regards,
