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.

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.

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 bothaya, which most of the time resembles a horn emerging from the Bark, is not a tree but the visible part of a colony of plants. These develop into an intertwining of rhizomes that parasitise the underlying root which constitutes the Bark. Some botanists argue that, in fact, these plants enable the release of the excess heat from the heart of Atys in a process more symbiotic than parasitic.

The bothaya is, in fact, an active pyrophilic plant: it uses fire as a means of reproduction. Its especially thick and dense bark exhales flammable vapors which flare up under the effect of rising heat. The fire then spreads around and burns other plant species, thus ensuring bothaya dominance and expansion of its territory. The sharp summit therefore glows from spring to autumn, which begins the period of pollination that will only end at the end of winter.

The plant is then transformed and turns green again with broad green leaves that form a quiff. A bunch of deep purple inflorescences appears. These are actually not fruit but female flowers (when crushed, they crumble into a kind of fluff that the Fyros use to spin fibers). The male flowers are easily unnoticed: small, they grow on the ground while throwing intermittently clouds of orange pollen.

The bothaya is sacred to the Fyros who have always been fascinated by the fires it prompts. The Watchers are there to ensure that the forests of bothayas do not expand...
