Alioleander

A particularly lovely variety of oleander. The plants grow in a variety of colors ranging from hot pink to deep purple, depending on the pH of the soil. A single bloom on the alioleander is the size of a woman's palm. However, the poisonous leaves and branches are three times as potent as the average variety.

Burrowing Nettle

This small plant, normally found around the rotting remains of small animals, is a dangerous nuisance. The Burrowing Nettle gets its name from the unique way its seeds are spread. Burrowing Nettle seeds are long slender spines that form in bundles at the end of the plants axial stems that are coated in a mild numbing agent. When an animal rubs against the plant, the spines cling to or impale the animal and begin to grow a few days later. If knocked off they will grow where they lie, but over the course of several months the plants roots can work their way into the unwitting creature, causing intense pain and itching at the site of infection. This growth eventually kills the animal, allowing the plant to continue the cycle. A burrowing nettle is a small shrub-like plant, maybe eight inches at the highest, with pointed three-piece leaves and small sweet fruit that vary in color. Its original home was Mugroba.

Mancatcher Plant

Found in boggy swamps and marshlands (such as Fen Kierden), this massive plant is a deadly threat to the unwary traveler. Roughly four feet in diameter and several feet deep, the Mancatcher plant grows mostly underground. This plant, which is shaped like a flared vase, lures prey through the use of sweet-smelling nectar that drips from its leaves. These leaves grow to cover the open portion of the plant and are normally covered in small blossoms, which range from pale blue to white. Should an unwitting victim move to inspect the flowers, they will find themselves slipping down into the plant, aided by its tough and slippery outer leaves. The 'blossoms' are highly flexible and will bend down to allow prey to fall into the 'vase'. Once the prey is inside, the plant's sticky secretions mix with powerful digestive enzymes to slowly digest the unfortunate creature. The blossoms close into their original position, ready to lure the plant's next meal to it.

Spiny Bloodtooth

Similar to the Venus Flytrap, the Spiny Bloodtooth traps its victims in a mouth-like organ at the end of a long stalk. However, whereas the Venus Flytrap stands around seven inches tall, the Spiny Bloodtooth can grow anywhere from two to four feet tall, and is quite aggressive. Rather than letting its victims come to it, the Spiny Bloodtooth actually 'smells' its prey using the spines inside its 'mouth', and will grow outward to trap and subsequently eat its victims. The Spiny Bloodtooth primarily feeds on small rodents and birds; some scientists believe that with the right modifications it could grow much larger, potentially allowing it to be used as a means of protection from outside forces.

Vidatabrusca

A vine plant originating in Hox, the vidatabrusca grows on steep rock faces. When brought to Anaxas, it was discovered to be an exceptionally hardy plant. It is capable of surviving out of season and can go many long months without sunlight or water. Vidatabrusca grows too quickly, however, and would soon overtake any garden once planted, along with covering any walls or trees in the area.

Its vines are covered in long, thin thorns, which make removal of the plant a very painful experience. Large maroon flowers bloom from the vine during the colder months of the year, and if dried and mixed with tea these blossoms create a slow acting poison, with symptoms similar to those poisoned with lead. The thorns make it very hard to pluck flowers from this plant, but many find the pain worth it for a chance to feel the rich texture of its petals, which is similar to a rose, but thicker and almost like velvet. When first brought to Anaxas, it was thought to be rare and exotic, but now it is considered a terrible weed. Almost impossible to remove and of little value, very few want anything to do with it.

Recently emerging slang terms for vidatabrusca include king's rose and lead lily.

Warvine

An ivy that grows the breadth of trees. Often planted against walls or as a bush (some twenty feet high on the oldest stands), the leaves resemble elephant's ears; the surface is prickly with tiny spines similar to nettles, creating searing pain, itching, burning, and its acidic qualities may burn through flesh in concentrated doses. It does have thorns, but the leaves grow thick enough on the plant that it wouldn't matter- you're itching and burning before you can prick yourself.
