Beware Atysians!
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.
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.
Plant of singular appearance, which could be taken for a mushroom, the faneng is in fact the fleshy shoot of a large rhizome.
This toxic, very stringy bud bears at its apex a green puff called cladode which is used for photosynthesis. Only this upper part is used by Zoraïs (the faneng-hakka*, which they think is a host plant) who extract from it a particularly effective anti-toxin.
