This is an index of all the flora, excluding intelligent plants, that can be found on Atys.
Contents
By ecosystem
This section lists the flora of Atys as it appears to the laymen homin. Note that many of this 'flora' isn't even really plants, but actually fungi or even immobile animals. But you'd have to dabble in botany a bit before you realise this.
The flora you may run into varies immensely based on the ecosystem of the continent you're in. Only a few plants appear in multiple ecosystems (like the Olansi tree that appears in both desert and lakelands). Thus the flora is classified by ecosystem.
Desert
- Bothaya - often appears as a large wooden spike, sometimes with small palm-like trees growing from it.
- Botoga - a large and thick desert tree, growing in twisted shapes with leaves forming an umbrella shape.
- Kioraï - a small plant growing in shady places of the oases.
- Loojine - a small desert tree resembling a colourful ball trapped in a cage.
- Olansi - a thin but high palm-like tree.
- Olash - somewhat resembles the olansi, but is smaller and has larger leaves.
- Papalexi - an almost ghost-like transparent tree.
- Salvola - grow together forming thorny carpets on sawdust.
- Savaniel - a cross between a tree and a bush, doesn't reach high but provides a large area with shade.
Forest
- Alinea - a needle-bearing tree, often comes in the shape of two trees twisting around eachother.

By classification
This section attempts to give a proper botanical classification of the flora of Atys.
According to matisian botanist Lirni Gillo There are 8 main botanical families ● Evergreen plants ● Fruit trees ● Grasses ● Herbs ● Intelligent Plants ● Mushrooms ● Roots ● Summer blooming plants
However modern botanists such as Komi the Nameless have reviewed his works and insist on a different classification with 10 main families
- Evergreens
- True plants (trees)
- True plants (herbs)
- Rhyzomes (underground plants and roots)
- Conifers
- Feather-plants
- Fungi
- Algae
- Plazmoid plants
- Intelligent plants
