BRAK BUSH
A shrub whose leaves have a purgative effect when chewed; traditionally, branches of it are nailed to house doors during the Waiting Hand to discourage the entry of bad luck into the house for the New Year.
"Almost all doors, including that of the House of Cernus, had
nailed to them some branches of the BRAK BUSH, the leaves of
which, when chewed, have a purgative effect. It is thought
that the pitch and the branches of the BRAK BUSH discourage
the entry of bad luck into the houses of the citizens."

CACAO TREES
Trees from which beans for chocolate and cocoa are taken.
"Do the trees grow near here?" I asked. "No, Mistress," she said.

Cosian merchants, who in turn, obtain them from the tropics.

CARPET PLANT
A plant of the rainforest area inland of Schendi, having tendrils that are sometimes used as a source of drinking water.

I tied shut this simple bandage with the tendrils of a
CARPET PLANT."

DINA
A small, short-stemmed flower indigenous to hillsides; sometimes called the 'slave flower', it is often used as a design for slave brands; sometimes used
as a slave name.
"That in the north the lovely

notice of the expatriated Turians; the DINA a delicate, beautiful
flower, it would no longer be used in the southern hemisphere..."

FAN PALM
Found in the jungles of Schendi it grows more than 20 feet high. It has large fan-shaped leaves which are at times can hold a lot of rainwater.

to my feet and walked a few yards away, to a FAN PALM.

HOGARTHE TREE
Named after an early explorer of Gor, these trees grow on the banks of streams and rivers. Similar to the poplar trees of Earth.
"They were HOGARTHE TREES, named for Hogarthe, one of the early
explorers in the area of the Barrens. They are not uncommon
in the vicinity of water in the Barrens, usually growing along
the banks of small streams of muddy, sluggish rivers. Their
shape is very reminiscent of poplar trees on Earth, to which,
perhaps, in virtue of seeds, brought to the Counter-Earth,
they may be related."

KANDA SHRUB
A shrub of the Gorean desert; a lethal poison can be extracted from its roots, while chewing the leaves has an addictive narcotic.
"The roots of the KANDA plant, which grows largely in desert
regions on Gor, are extremely toxic, but, surprisingly, the
rolled leaves of this plant, which are relatively innocuous,
are formed into strings and chewed or sucked, are much
favored by many Goreans, particularly in the southern
hemisphere, where the leaf is more abundant."

bladder like pods produce a mechanical pumping action, and
the blood is sucked into the plant to nourish it."
Outlaw of Gor Pg. 33
LIANA VINE
A rainforest plant which can be used as a source of drinking water.
"Another useful source of water is the LIANA VINE. One makes
the first cut high, over one's head, to keep the water from
being withdrawn by contraction and surface adhesion up the
vine. The second cut, made a foot or so from the ground,
gives a vine tube, which, drained, yields in the neighborhood
of a liter of water."

PALM TREES
More than 1500 varieties of palm trees exist in the rainforest.. one of which is the Fan Palm, more than 20 ft high, and spreads it leaves in the form of a an opened fan, it is an excellent source of pure water, as much as one liter of water being found, almost as though cupped, at the base of each leaf's stem.
"There is an incredible variety of trees in the rain forest, how
many I cannot conjecture. There are, however, more than
fifteen hundred varieties and types of PALM alone. Some of
these PALMS have leaves which are twenty feet in length."
Explorers of Gor Pg. 310
RENCE
A tufted, reed-like plant that grows in the marshes; used for making paper.
"A kind of paper is made from RENCE. The plant itself has a long,
thick root, about four inches thick, which lies horizontally
under the surface of the water; small roots sink downward into
the mud from this main root, and several "stems," as many as a
dozen, rise from it, often of a length of fifteen to sixteen
feet from the root; it has an excrescent, usually single
floral spike."
Raiders of Gor Pg. 7
REP
A fiber plant similar to cotton.
"REP is a whitish fibrous matter found in the seed pods of a small,
reddish, woody bush, commercially grown in several areas, but
particularly below Ar and above the equator; the cheap
rep-cloth is woven in mills, commonly, in various cities; it
takes dyes well and, being cheap and strong, is popular,
particularly among the lower castes."
Raiders of Gor Pg. 10
RUSH AND SEDGE
brush which lies in and along marshes and swamps, basically wild rence plants.
"In many places it is too shallow to float even the great
flat-bottomed barges and, more importantly, a path for them
would have to be cut and chopped, foot by foot, through the
thickets of RUSH AND SEDGE, and the tangles of marsh vine."

SA-TARNA
A grain, wheat yellow in color or brown, it is a staple of Gor.

secreted by large, gray, domesticated, hemispheric arthropods
which are, in the morning, taken out to pasture where they
feed on special SIM PLANTS, extensive, rambling, tangled
vine-like plants with huge, rolling leaves raised under
square energy lamps fixed in the ceilings of the broad
pasture chambers, and at night are returned to their stable
cells where they are milked by Muls."
Priest-Kings of Gor Pg. 214
SIP ROOT
A bitter root whose extract is the active ingredient in slavewine.
"...the effect of the SIP ROOT, in most women is effective for
three or four months. In the concentrated state, as in slave
wine, developed by the caste of Physicians, the effect is
almost indefinite, usually requiring a releaser for it
remission, usually administered, to a slave, in what is
called the breeding wine, or the second wine".
Blood Brothers of Gor Pg. 319
SUL PLANT

of ridges, lofty and steep, rearing out of a broad yellow
meadow of TALENDARS, a delicate, yellow-petaled flower,
often woven into garlands by Gorean maidens."
Outlaw of Gor Pg. 131
TELEKINT
A plant of the Tahari; its roots, mashed & mixed with water, provide a red dye.

TOR TREE
A bright shrub or shrub of light, abundance of bright flowers, yellow or white, does not grow above a man's waist.
"I, too, think it is a TOR SHRUB," I said. The shrub has
various names but one of them is the TOR SHRUB, which name
might be fairly translated, I would think, as, say, the
bright shrub, or the shrub of light, it having that name,
I suppose, because of its abundant, bright flowers, either
yellow or white, depending on the variety. It is a very
lovely shrub in bloom. It was not in bloom now, of course,
as it flowers in the fall."
Vagabonds of Gor Pg. 339
TUR
A reddish tree having a large trunk.
"...I had heard, a TUR TREE was found on the prairie, near a

the far wall, a grove of tem-wood, linear, black, supple."
