We have two indexes of all the flora that can be found on Atys:

• One exclusively on intelligent plants,
• And the unaggressive flora detailed 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.

Loojines are plants present in large numbers all over the Burning Desert; they are composed of a colored ball held inside a network of thin intertwined branches.

Some botanists think that the ball at its centre is actually the fruit of the loojine. However, recent research has revealed that these balls are only tanks used to store the sap. This part never comes off the plant and suffers no change through seasons other than its colour, allowing us to believe that it is indeed not a fruit. It contains a greenish liquid rich in water.

The loojine flowers are very small and scattered along the network of branches constituting the “cage” which turns green in autumn. Their pollen is brown.

The Fyros use them as a source of water by piercing the central ball to make the sap flow.

Some botanists suggest that they are related to the papalexis of the Lucenthead Hurst.

Fyros Legend

The Great Tree is immortal, and its ashes, once cooled, regain their vitality. From the ashes come flowers and fruits. The flora spreads towards the sky in the hope of reaching other planets.

Matis Myth

All the vegetation was born from the hands of the Matis. These agile artists sculpted each of the elegant leaves of Atys. The Goo, or more rarely the original chaos, is responsible for any malformation.

Tryker Myth

The Seed has many offshoots that form the vegetation of Atys. Plants are not so cooperative with the capricious Kamis, but the Kamis nevertheless use them to generate and then feed their creatures. But the Flora of Atys needs protection. Otherwise the homin civilizations will perish, leaving nothing but the bestial prosperity of the corrupted Goo…
