penny tree
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These trees are huge with thick, sturdy trunks. Their branches are high up, making for a risky climb. Their leaves are shiny and thin, shaped like maple leaves, and are roughly the size of a penny and colored in reds and golds. Halfway through the year, the trees lose their leaves and bark, but both grow back about a week later.
USES The bark is edible and has a sweet flavor. The leaves are a good pain reliever and a cure for shock.
poison violet
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Named in part for its thick, purple flowers, this tree grows all around the forest. It's a little like a willow tree, except the flowers are more like poppies, hanging upside-down in long chains from the spindly branches of the tree, which has pale yellow bark.
USES Licking the bark can help ease headaches.
OTHER NOTES This tree is also named for the fact that its blossoms are highly poisonous. When eaten or even just licked, they cause a very slow and painful death that involves the creature's organs slowly failing.
gray haven
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These trees are well-known for their massive trunks - almost the size of a whole cave, a gray haven trunk is thick and study, and a cavern is created at the base of the tree which can become a haven for creatures who are trying to hide. The flowers are a silky silver color, and because this tree rises up far above the other forest trees, ray havens can often look like massive silver domes from the sky. The flowers drop off once every year.
USES Once the flowers fall from the tree, they can be harvested, dried, ad used to treat infections. They must be dried to be of any use.
white creeper
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These flowers are very common in the forest, growing at the base of amost every tree. With bluebell-lke blooms in a bearly shade of white, they look and haste heavenly. Their blue stalks are tough and mustard-like.
USES This plant is edible with a flavor like fresh salad. It's used as a vitamin suppliment and a cure for anxiety.
gray creeper
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These flowers are very similar to their white counterparts, except they are slightly smaller and have gray blooms instead of white and blue stalks.

OTHER NOTES Somewhat rare, maybe half as common as white creepers.
black creeper
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These flowers look like gray creepers, only with balck blooms instead of gray.
USES This is the only known antidote to the purple poison's blooms.
OTHER NOTES This is the rarest flower in the forest, if not in the world. Fro every two-hundred white creepers, there is a well-hidden black creeper. It has been said that only one has ever been found, and that it only grows in the caverns made by the trunks of gray haven trees. It has also been said that some other plant species - particularly poisonous types - can gather around the black creeper to protect it from creatures who would come steal it.
viper rose
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These flowers aren't related to roses, but have flame-colored, rose-like buds.
USES Viper roses have a pungent, sour taste and no nutritional value, but they can draw out forest viper cenom if chewed into a paste and applied to a bite fast enough. The chewed petals can also serve as a mild antibiotic or be used as a sterile glue for dressing a wound. They can also be dried and stored while staying as effective as if they'd been picked fresh.
life tree
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION This tree is so named because its low-hanging branches harbor large reddish brown fruits that have similar nutritional properties of fresh meat. These fruits are about the size and shape of a large grapefruit. The long stems hang the fruits down to the eye level of an absconding, making them very easy to pick.
USES This plant is edible. The fruit has a thick, metallic flavor and a stringy texture, and can sustain a naturally carnivorous creature.
OTHER NOTES Very rare - only a single one of these trees is in existence, growing in the dead center of the forest. It is said that this tree has existed since the beginning of time. If the fruit isn't eaten in time, it will rot and flood the surrounding area with the smell of putrefying flesh.
trapper
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These plants resemble a brown and orange splotched steep-sided bowl, though they are much larger. The lip of the plant is about as high as an aboriginal canine is tall. A vine grows out of the lip of the plant and falls to the forest floor. Inside the bowl, a fruit-like growth sits at the very bottom, giving off a very strong, sweet smell that attracts small animals. Once an animal gets inside the plant, it becomes trapped, eventually starving to death. Upon the animal's death, the plant will fill itself enough to cover the animal with a digestive liquid to consume it.
USES Natives can steal the prey inside the plant for themselves. This is a common plant, so a creature could sustain themselves entirely from prey trapper victims.
whiteweed
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Named after the fuzzy white leaves that pop up out of the forest floor where they grow, these plants seem to be everywhere. The roots are thick and knobby.
USES The roots, which taste similar to ginger, can be eaten to cute stomach aches or stored for use another timesince they retain their moisture near indefinitely.
OTHER NOTES The leaves of the plant have a horrendous flavor, and the fuzz makes them uncomfortable to chew.
lavender blossom
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION These plants grow in large clumps, generally at the base of gray haven trees. They have long stalks covered in small, fuzzy light purple blossoms that smell heavenly.
USES The blossoms have no nutritional value and a lackluster taste, but the scent is good for calming anxiety and reducing stress, especially if the blossoms are dried.
