There are a wide array of plants that your character might come across while venturing into the wilds of Zalanthas, and the proper syntax used to make use of these plants is likely to vary as well.

The most common kind of plant your character will come across is basically a container. Thus, typing something akin to: "look in plant" will allow you to see if there is anything that your character might be able to harvest. If there is, then something like "get root plant" will work for taking that item.

Other plants are objects themselves, and your character can pick up and take the entire plant by typing "get plant".

Other plants have 'pickable' resources, and in order to harvest these, you must type "pick flower plant" or the like to allow your character to make use of the flora. As a general rule, if a plant is 'pickable' it will tell you so at the bottom of the plant's description.

Still more plants might need to be broken in order to get at the fruits or blossoms they hide within. "break plant" is, in this case the proper syntax to use.

If none of the above work, there is also the possibility that the plant was not meant to be interactive, and does not yield any resources your character could make use of.

Hopefully this clears up some of the mystery surrounding syntax usage on plants in the wild. So go out and have fun!

Short, squat light colored hardwoods, with a thick grey bark and knotted, twisted trunks; leaves are very thin and long, like limber needles, forming a canopy arrangement similar to a "weeping willow" but with fewer leaves.

Thick, dark maroon hardwoods, with dark crimson-and-grey bark; the trunk is somewhat bent, often branching into smaller limbs halfway up or less; leaves are similar to agafari, but purple in color, and a little wider.

Small, oily-brown hardwoods, which rarely achieve a height of more than eight cords; dark brown bark and circular, yellowish-green leaves; produces a thickshelled nut which is prized more for its oil content than the taste.

Tall, slender softwoods (like pine), suitable for making stuff like furniture and parchment; light colored, with peeling grey-green bark; leaves are spear-shaped and serrated, and can slice bare skin open.

Shorter cousins of the cylini, with a broader trunk with is more knotted and slightly darker, with an ugly olive-purple bark; leaves, as with cylini, are spear-shaped and serrated (can be dangerous) but are slightly longer and slimmer.

Narrow trunked and slender, this fruit tree features hand-sized lobed leaves streaked with purple mottlings, and smooth, creamy beige bark. Prized for its fruit, only the wood from fallen or dead trees is used for crafting.

Short, thorn covered bushes no more than four feet high; very dark indigo wood, varying to the green depending on the shrub's age, with a scaly grey-green bark/skin; the leaves are almost nonexistant, being small, thin yellow flexible needles which burst open upon contact with water, allowing the shrub to suck in all moisture through its hollow twigs.

Extremely twisted stubby softwoods; the trunk divides into a tangled mass of branches no more than 1 foot from the ground; light-colored, yellowish wood, with darker yellow scaly bark; leaves are reddish-purple in color and are similar to fern leaves, with many small tendrils branching out from a twig; these are kept mostly for their color, since only the lowest portion of the tree is usable for anything (about 5-10% of the wood).

Ragged, dead-grey vines which are actually a type of fungus; usually found growing on more substantial plant life or upon rotting animal matter, these plants are parasitic and can live only by what they drain from the organism they live on; the vine sometimes gathers in knots, but more often appears like decayed old cloth or spider webbing.

Ginka fruit in from the Northlands but is also seen in Allanak, where it is most frequently consumed by the wealthy. A ginka fruit is the size of a large human's fist, and its skin is tough, pale lavender in color and is sharply spiked. The insides of a ginka fruit are blood-red and extremely juicy and nurishing. Ginka fruit is famous for its excellent if powerful sweet taste.

Small weedlike plants which have an extremely large root system for their size; these plants can even be found upon sand dunes, the roots can pierce so deep into the earth; a light-grey bulb forms the center of the plant, covered with wispy water-sacs, from which sprout twiglike tendrils foliated with narrow, serrated leaves that are dark green in the center and a dull violet at the edges. The bulb is good to eat, and a favorite for wine-making, but the leaves are sharp and dangerous.

Straight, thin treelike plants with a thin olive drab bark/skin; no evident leafage at all, and the stem does not divide into branches but remains a single stalk; at the newer tip of the plant, the bark is very thin and membrous and usually much more green or yellow, through which the stemwood collects water from the air through osmosis and conducts its photosynthesis, supplemented by the moisture its roots can obtain.

Similar to loreshi shrubs; thornbushes have no leafage whatsoever, and are in fact quite dangerous; when a warm-blooded organism passes near, the plant pierces it with its thorns, which inject a paralyzing poison (even a scratch will paralyze creatures of gortok-size); the plant then grows toward the paralyzed victim at a rapid pace (3-4 hours is usually enough) and sucks moisture from the victim (blood and such) through its hollow thorns.

These plants are like shorter versions of cynipri, but have flexible trunks of deep brown softwood, covered with a dusky-red bark; the leaves are spear-shaped and are very sharply serrated, usually twice as long as the tree is high; when moved by even moderate winds, these leaves can tear open the nearby ground; any small animals are quickly killed by this and are used for food and fertilizer.

Clumping, brown-green and good grazing.

Spare, purplish, striped, not good for insects.

Short, purple-brown mossy grasses which often grow between rocks or can cover flat plains, called both "greb-grass" and "the grebel" as collective, excellent grazing for most animals, and is especially populous near oases and mudflats.

These small softwood trees are found mainly in the northlands; leaves are small, dusty green in color and shaped like elongated ovals; blossoms, which occur year round, vary from a dusty rose shade to pale yellow; the bark and wood are a silvery grey in color, prized for woodworking, particularly since it has a pleasant, almost fruity aroma.
