Theme plan and categories
Some plants have shown signs of intelligence, finding ways to communicate with other thinking species. From there to knowing if their message is peaceful or malicious, it's up to you to find out...
However, the eight botanical families listed below should help you to find your way through the teeming flora of Atys.
You should also know that all Atys plants that are not (or not only) members of these families are listed in the “pseudo-family” Special plants.
The wonderful flora of Atys
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.

The lumindra is a predatory plant. It develops at the top of a long woody stem a fleshy bud on which grow supple stems terminated by luminescent balls exuding a very sticky resin. When an insect or pollen sticks to one of these balls, the plant secretes a deoxygenating substance that piecemeal digests the organism.
While this plant grows very humbly at first, some lumindras can reach 60 feet in height.
This plant has a singular reproductive system. Indeed its microscopic pollen is released by the bud and sometimes fastens onto the sticky balls. The plant recognizes pollen and instead of digesting it, uses it to fertilize itself. The particular mechanisms of the reproduction of lumindras remain a mystery for homin botanists.
The bud is spongy and can be consumed. The stringy stem is used to make ropes.
