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 botoga (said sometimes bodoa) is a high tree with an engorged trunk, whose leaves look like thick sunshades of bark.
Like many desert plants, its flowers, located at the very top of its canopy, hatch only once a year. Their large pollens are able to fly long distances.
Its fruit, which resembles a big nut, contains seeds of tangy taste; the pulp of these seeds has astringent properties.
Its wood, too soft and saturated with water (from which it is indeed a precious source) was in ancient times used to make paper when dried.
Its bark and leaves are used as an infusion by the Fyros for their antipyretic power.
It is nicknamed “Bodoc of the Desert” because of its massive appearance and its branches resembling horns. The tale of Glump's exile stems from this analogy.
