Alecost: An astringent, minty smell arises from this small plant. Its leaves are finely toothed, pointed and silvery green. Some stems bear small heads of insignificant yellow blooms. Reputed to cleanse the blood.


Arato: These oval leaves are dark green and fleshy, shot through with a faint purplish tinge. Sap oozes from the thick stems. Sap is used to thicken balms and unguents.


Asfadalar: This small fern frond is a vivid green, its leaves delicate and airy as a wooden comb. Also known as heartsolace. Brings pleasant, although sometimes overly vivid, dreams.


Belgoikiss: A slender, arched stem, lined with two lance-shaped leaves, ends in a tiny white bell-shaped flower, its smell unimaginably sweet and strong. Used in perfumemaking.


Bimbal: This small plant has thick, bulbous leaves, a dark grayish-green in color, sprouting in irregular leaves. Sap has healing properties, sometimes used in bandagemaking and to thicken incense. Leaves are also used to flavor one variety of cheese.


Citrodora: These leaves are long and pointed, rough textured with a prominent central vein and a strong, lemony scent, arranged along the stem in sets of three. Tiny white flowers grow in loose clusters along the top of each stem. Used to scent soap and perfume, and in cooking and cheesemaking, to lend its flavor.


Efiliq: This tiny thorn is made of some transparent, glassy material. At the base, it shades to a dark green-black where it has been removed from whatever plant bore it. Also known as dreamdeep. Muscle relaxant.


Escrufoot: These dusty, olive colored leaves resemble the footprints of a small herbivore in both size and shape. They emit a strong, minty aroma. Purgative.


Fafad: These long ferns are pale green, dusted with a silvery grey layer which gives them the texture of tarnished metal. Their leaves are long and elegantly narrow, curled in subtle spirals at each tip which mirror the overall curl of each long, airy frond. Also known as moonlip. Used in air magicks.


Featherleaf: This leaf is long and thin, with many feathery side flaps. It is light brown in color, and has a slight sharp odor. The fruits of this plant are inedible.


Fenrel: Four waxy, dark-green leaves extend from a central woody stem. Each is spear-shaped and longer than an outstretched human hand, tapering to a fine point. A fine network of lighter-green veins criss-cross the surface of each leaf. Mildly poisonous when taken in large doses, fenrel is used in cooking, as a side-note to spicy dishes.


Glimmergrass: The deeply indented, bitterly aromatic leaves of this plant are covered with fine silky hairs, giving them an odd silvery cast, as though touched with moonlight. Astringent qualities. Used in perfumes and incense.


Hytenni: The pale, dusty-grey leaves of this small plant are covered with a symmetrical scattering of oval shaped pure white dots. Each leaf is curved upward around its edges in a cup-like fashion, with two leaves hanging from the end of each brittle stem. The leaves are used in some fever-reducing medicines. Traditionally found in the Grey Forest.


Joylilt: This bright yellow-orange flower has fluted petals, radiating from a cone-shaped center, ragged with pollen. Repels insects and nightfevers.


Jurrix: This eight pointed leaf is edged sharply, and its material is harder than most vegetation, giving it a chitonous feel. Also known as thumbtangle.


Lanturin: The huge blossoms of this crimson-flowering tree are often used in perfumes, prized for the combination of sweetness and spice.


Laok: This straggly northern bush yields large, clear sweet berries that are often used in making wine or jellies.


Lavender: The small flowers from this low bush are used to make a sweet, soothing perfume.


Lifera: These globe-shaped flowers are composed of clusters of smaller blossoms, a mauvey pink in color. They smell unpleasantly rank. Used in cooking and dyeing.


Lirathufavor: These elegant, graceful plants hold thin tapering spikes of small, star-shaped yellow flowers with a sweet, fruity scent. The gray-green leaves, edges serrated, grow in alternate large and small pairs. Used for floristry and scenting bedding.


Maidenflower: Contained on a stem which resembles a jade carving, this bloom is striped in soft pink and green, deep-throated and packed with a cluster of golden-pollened pistils. A faint, airily sweet scent comes from within it. Reputed to restore potency, and in floristry.


Menelli: The ferny leaves are fan-shaped, a dusty gray-green in color. Among them are loose heads of drooping pink flowers, wavering gracefully at the end of each long stem. Stimulant.


Peshek: Thickset, this brown leaf is rather sharp-looking. It is slightly curved, and must have been plucked from the stalk with some difficulty, judging from the tear at the base. Relieves thirst but at the price of heightening fevers.


Pfafna: This flower is a brilliant, almost shimmering white, almost as though each petal had been dusted with some opalescent powder. Its five petals are long and tapered, making it resemble a star in shape, and it smells sweetly of citrus and mint. Used in candymaking and some wines.


Redheart: A small strand of ivy curls gracefully, its green leaves patterned with a lacework of red and gold veins. Tiny scarlet flowers are scattered along its length. Reputed to warm the blood.


Runebane: Large oval leaves, crumpled and wilted a little from rough handling, are scattered with a mottling of white spots. A funnel shaped flower, purplish blue in color, is mixed in with the foliage. Causes numbness. Used in bandages and salves.


Sandspider: Long and thin, this leaf looks a lot like a spider's leg. Reddish brown in color, it blends into the desert sands quite well. Reputedly an elven aphrodisiac.


Seereye: Oblong, tapering leaves, midgreen in color, accompany a spray of small fragrance-less salver-shaped flowers, their color a delicate pale blue. Reputedly wilts in the presence of lies. Used in floristry, dyeing.


Shrintal: This blue-blossoming plant's flowers each have four silky, paper-thin petals, making the blossoms resemble butterflies. Used in perfumemaking and floristry.


Sikilip: This pale green leaf, roughly triangular shaped, is dusted with silvery hairs, so fine as to be almost imperceptible. Skin irritant.


Smallage: Small greenish cream clusters, making up the flowers, tip a ridged, woody stem. Shiny green leaflets are scattered along the branch's length.


Stingtongue: This tiny leaf is perhaps an inch wide, perhaps a trifle less. It is perfectly circular, and a deep blue-green in color. Named for its bitterness, this herb is useful in reducing fevers.


Sweetbreeze: The tassled leaves of this hip-high plant are a dull blue-green and grow in feathery, loose threads. Tiny, highly aromatic, yellow flowers are arranged in flat clusters atop the plant.


Tembotooth: These leaves are long, narrow, and glossy green. Brushed, they release a warm, peppery scent with hints of anise. Chewed for their mildly stimulating qualities, and used in cooking.


Templar's Heart: Blossoms of a bright red, a shade resembling human blood, adorn each of the spidery crimson vine's lanky tendrils, spaced at intervals with slender, pronged thorns. Flowers are used to make a rare perfume.


Ternak: These large leaves are scallop edged and bright green, each growing on a thick round stem. At the base of the plant, a thick brown root is barely visible. The root is edible and used to lend its pungent flavor to a variety of cheese.


Tholinoc: The cream-colored clusters of tiny blossoms borne at the end of the furrowed, reddish stem give off a sweet almond fragrance while the wrinkled dark green leaves, their undersides a pale gray, bear a hint of wintergreen. A drop of clear sap oozes from the broken end of the branch.


Verrinbloom: The leaves of this small plant are dark green ovals. The tiny flowers are a pink so pale they appear almost white at first glance. Aids eyesight and cures troubles with vision.


Whitebloom: Growing in graceful clumps, large fernlike leaves tinged with a pale magenta blush spread themselves out fully. This low growing plant is dusted with tiny white flowers.


Yuku: A black-hued vine often used for wicker and baskets, which grows in the Grey Forest. Sometimes a very bitter, purgative tea is made from its roots.
