Below is a list of
Plant-Life found on Icarus. To make it easier on everyone the list is
divided into a few categories: Plant (Land plants, limited in heigth),
Trees (larger plants) and Fruit (fruit)
Mint
[Mint]
More plants survived the ship Hyantis' crash than
animals. Mint bushes were one such plant that the humans started using
in their fields.
Sailor's Rope
[Say-lors rope]
Another type of seaweed that is used to make fishing
nets. Extremely strong-but tangles easily if not properly stored. This
seaweed is not eaten as it is very much like thick hair.
Sweetweed
[sweet-weed]
A long, thin, grass-like type of eddible seaweed if
prepared properly. After pulling it from the ocean, one must wash it
thouroghly in running fresh water (river or whatever other source of
running fresh water). Then it must be steamed. Usually best when
served five to ten minutes after steaming. If shiping to other parts
of Icarus, it must be carefully washed, packaged and then washed once
more after it is received. Recommended that people who buy it also
wash it before steaming it. Can also be dried to last longer. Grows
plentiful around warmer coasts only
Turncoat Berry
Bush
[tuhrn-cote ber-ree bush]
A red berry bush (very
sweet-tasting) that grows in
most rain forests. The pea-sized, red berries are extremely poisonous if eaten and can
cause indegestion, heart burn, headaches, nausea, and even death *feels like she's naming the side effects of a
pill* There is no cure
for eating the berries except to let them run through your system (and
hope you don't die).
Usually two or three berries won't do much harm, but a handfull or
more can do serious damage (and can cause intestinal damage, bloating,
or delerium).
Apples
[ap-pels]
More plants survived the ship Hyantis' crash than
animals. Apples were one such plant that the humans started using in
their fields.
Carrots
[ca-rot]
More plants survived the ship Hyantis' crash than
animals. Carrots were one such plant that the humans started using in
their fields.
Coffee Beans
[cof-fee beens]
More plants survived the ship Hyantis' crash than
animals. Coffe Beans were one such plant that the humans started using
in their fields.
Oranges
[o-ren-ges]
More plants survived the ship Hyantis' crash than
animals. Oranges were one such plant that the humans started using in
their fields.
Potatoes
[po-ta-toes]
More plants survived the ship Hyantis' crash than
animals. Potatoes were one such plant that the humans started using in
their fields.
Redskins
[red-skins]
A large red fruit with a soft fingernail-thick skin holding inside a sweet
liquid. They can be picked without being
squished, but the picker must be very careful or they will find
themselves covered in the juice. The skin is tasteless, but can be
used for healing upset stomachs, headaches, or nausea (as long as the
symtoms are not caused by the red berry bush). If the skin is dried
and made into a powder, then added a bit of water to it, enough to
make it pasty, then it can be used to seal and clean cuts, scrapes,
burns, and anything else of the like. To get the juice from this
fruit, one must only hold the fruit over a basin (or cup, whichever
they prefer to put it in) and poke a hole (not too big, not too small)
in the side and let the juice run out.
Turncoat Berries
[Tuhrn-cote]
The pea-sized, red berries are extremely poisonous if eaten and can
cause indegestion, heart burn, headaches, nausea, and even death
*feels like she's naming the side effects of a pill* There is no cure
for eating the berries except to let them run through your system (and
hope you don't die).
Usually two or three berries won't do much harm, but a handfull or
more can do serious damage (and can cause intestinal damage, bloating,
or delerium).
