specifically in the first place.
⚒Beech​- A variety of tree.
⚘❣☠⚕Belladonna​- A beautiful flower common in Aldenard from which a potent sleeping poison
can be extracted. Not to be confused for the predatory seedkin shapeshifter of the same name.
⚘Belladonna (Seedkin)​- A carnivorous plant native to the Orn Wild, this voracious specimen of
flora lures in potential victims by contorting its petals into the form of various beasts. Research
conducted at Saint Mocianne's Arboretum concluded that the murderous Belladonna is as likely
to prey upon two-legged victims as four.
⚘Bellbloom​- This swift-growing grass produces large bell-shaped seedpods which rattle in the
autumn wind, earning its name. It grows a single long stalk from the center of the plant when it
is soon to bloom. Grows semi-aquatically.
Biloko​- Though manlike in appearance, these enigmatic seedkin are comprised solely of vines
and roots, and appear to lack intelligence beyond the capacity of killing. Some scholars,
especially those who concentrate their studies on the Allagan Empire and its campaign into

Brown Mushroom​- An earthen fungus that can commonly be found sprouting beneath trees
growing in the Churning Mists.
Brownie Brush/Bush​- Legend says that Eorzea was once inhabited by a race of tiny creatures
called brownies, and they would use the spores of this particular mushroom to paint their faces

❧Buckwheat​- A nutty grain that can be substituted for flour in breads and noodles. Found
across the Three Great Continents, but grown in abundance in the heart of Gyr Abania.
❧Buffalo Beans​- A common variety of green bean recognizable by its long thin pods. Buffalo
are said to be fond of the beans, and have been known to eat entire crops if left unchecked.
Bulb​- Due to their capacity for ambulation, bulbs have long been believed to be the unmatured
forms of treants. This hypothesis, however, has recently been disproven by a team of dedicated
naturalists, who, after capturing several of the seedkin and observing them for two score years
in a controlled environment, documented no futher growth from their original state. The bulb's
ability to walk appears simply to be a trait developed to allow the seedkin access to richer soils.
(Variants: Cork Bulb, Lily Bulb, Metshaldjas)

C
⚘Cactuar​- Found exclusively in arid regions, cactuars are known for their ability to survive
extended periods under the scorching sun on naught but the moisture stored within their bodies.
Conditioned by the brutal nature of their surroundings, cactuars are quick to defend themselves,
launching a barrage of needles at potential predators- and the occasional unwary traveler.
(Variants: Cactuar, Cochineal Cactuar, Flowertender, Sabotender)
⚘❧Cactus​- While not very pleasing to the palate, cactus leaves provide adequate nourishment
when there is naught else save coblyn legs to eat.
❧Caelumtree​- Scholars of botany are unclear as to why such a large portion of the
caelumtree's roots grow above ground in a similar fashion to the mangroves of Mor Dhona,
despite the lack of marsh-like conditions in the Dravanian forelands. Some, however, have
concluded that the area must once have been submerged in water for an extended period of
time─a time in which the trees adapted. And though the waters have receded, the roots remain
the same. This tree's high-growing fruits are edible and can be fermented into a sweet and
aromatic wine.
Campanula​- Commonly known as “bellflowers,” which are said to be edible. Good to know if
one were to find oneself with a lack of victuals but an abundance of these dainty blooms.

harvested in the late months for use in various Doman and Hingan dishes.
❧Chives​- A thin green onion used in many Ishgardian dishes.
❧Chysahl Greens​- Though nearly identical in shape and color to gysahl greens, chysahl
greens have a deeper, earthier flavor that chocobos (and man) seem to prefer. Though
commonly grown in Coerthas and oft assumed to be the native variety of the plant, chysahl
greens are the Near Eastern variety of gysahl greens, brought back to Eorzea.
❧Cieldalaes Pineapple-​ A bitter fruit found growing on the Cieldalaes─a remote archipelago in
the Rhotano Sea. While typically avoided by the five races, it is a favorite amongst chocobos,
and is known to lighten the blue hues of their feathers.
❧Cieldalaes Spinach​- An iron-rich leafy vegetable native to the Cieldalaes. Less bitter if
picked young.
❧Cinderfoot Olive​- The seed of an olive tree, often preserved in brine or pressed to make oil.

spice used to add flavor to confectionaries, though it is also commonly used in medicines.
⚕❧Clary Sage​- A fragrant herb used in medicines, perfumes, and cooking.
❧Cloud Banana​- Though it resembles a tree, cloud bananas actually grow from an oversized
herb. That does not, however, make them any less sweet.

⚘Cloud Mallow​- Despite being lighter than air, this floating flora will not budge from its location
even when beset by strong winds.
Cloud Mushroom​- An aptly named fungus commonly found in the Sea of Clouds, wind
providing a means of spore distribution from one islet to the next.

discovered the queerly shaped fungus, and hence had the privilege of naming the new species,
claims he had a slightly more clever name in mind, but forgot it.
⚒Cloud Oak​- A tree that produces Cloud Acorns. The Vanu Vanu will oft use these large seeds
in the creation of sacred ornaments, or even armor.
⚘Cloudsbreath​- Lack of imagination has led to most all white flowers found growing in the
skybound regions of Dravania and Abalathia to be named after clouds, this light-petaled
specimen being no exception. Features wing-like petals.
❣²Cloudcrawler​- Cloudcrawler is a swift-growing vine that clings to the bottoms of islets found
in the Sea of Clouds. When dried, the vines are pliable enough to weave into baskets or even
crude armor. Has a narcotic effect on gaelicats, similar to gaelicatnip.
❧Cloves​- A sweet-smelling spice made from the dried buds of the clove tree. It is used to flavor
confectionaries, and as an essential oil.
❧Coerthan Carrot​- A long orange root vegetable commonly grown in the rocky alpine soil of
the Coerthas region.
⚒Coerthan Hemlock​- Due to their natural resistance to colder temperatures, hemlocks remain
abundant in Coerthas even now, long after the Calamity-induced winter killed off the less hardy
species. | When seasoned, this thick sap-filled branch will prove quick-lighting and hot-burning,
making it the perfect kindling.
❣❧Coerthan Tea Leaves​- Considerably smaller than Thanalan tea leaves, more than double
the amount of Ishgardian tea leaves are required to brew a single cup of tea.
❣❧Coffee​- A plant that grows in volcanic mountain soils. Its beans are roasted, ground, and
then boiled into an energizing beverage.
⚘⚕Coneflower​- Brought back from the New World in the west, this plant bearing large,
horn-shaped flowers has been recently discovered to be effective in curing several different
ailments.
Cordyceps​- Cordyceps is a rare type of funguar which will infect a beastkin host, such as a
bear, taking control of its body and mind in the process. As long as the host is alive, the funguar
can drain the creature's essence indefinitely, therefore giving the seedkin incentive to see that
the host continues to feed. In the event that the host's life is terminated, cordyceps will produce
fruiting bodies that emerge from the host's head, releasing countless spores into the air upon
rupture.
❧Coriander​- A highly fragrant herb. The leaves can be harvested and used in salads, or the
plant can be allowed to bolt and the seeds gathered and used to spice ale.
✄Cotton​- The fibrous flower of the cotton plant. Grown in abundance in the Black Shroud for
Gridania's textile industry.
⚕Cow Bitter​- This sweet-smelling annual can be found growing in all of the Three Great
Continents. Hated by Qiqirn.
❧Crabapple​- Pronounced "cra-bopple," unlike the crab apple, when ripened to a bright red,
crabapples are amazingly sweet and delicious.
Crackleweed​- Even with only a single pair of leaves having sprouted from the soil, this seedling
already is producing the snap, crackle, and popping noises associated with the flora. Nearly
driven to extinction by the destructive acts of Nidhogg's brood.
Creamtop Mushroom​- A bulbous white mushroom that grows wild in forests.
Crimson Fan Coral​- Brilliant red fan coral found growing in the Ruby Sea. Not really a plant.
❧Crimson Pepper​- A pungent spice with just a hint of bitterness behind its bite.

include the removal of unpleasant odors from boots, the removal of unpleasant odors from
gauntlets, and the removal of unpleasant odors from codpieces.
❧⚕Cumin​- A pungent spice that can be used in seed form, or ground into a powder, enhancing
the aroma tenfold.
Curiel Root-​ A parsnip-like tuber found growing on the windswept islands of the northern seas.
While too bitter for most people's tastes, chocobos are known to enjoy the flavor, and thus the
root is often used as fodder for the animals.
Curly Parsley​- This fancifully frilly parsley has an unobtrusive flavor that makes it perfect for
use in otherwise bland dishes or as a garnish.
❧Cyclops Onion​- A giant yellow onion often found growing on Abalathia's Spine.

avoided by the five races, it is a favorite amongst chocobos, and is known to lighten the red
hues of their feathers.

questions.
☠Dragon's Wart​- A mushroom so toxic that it is said a single bite can kill an adult dragon.
⚘Dravanian Down Tree​- A unique species of flora found only growing in the Sea of Clouds. As
its seeds do not take in soil from the lower realm, the trees must be planted and raised on sky
islets before being transplanted.
⚘Dravanian Lily​- Though rarely seen anymore, mention of the lilies is common in tomes from
the early Sixth Astral Era, as well as children's faerie tales, suggesting the flowers once grew

Fleshy-Leaved Plant​- An extensive background in botany has proven insufficient in
successfully identifying this verdant snippet. Found in the Azim Steppe.
☠⚕❧Flying Trap​- These insectivorous plants are found in forests and grassland areas. As they
mature, their leaves- coated in a layer of sticky mucus- assume vivid hues which serve to attract
prey. Any insect that comes into contact with the adhesive substance becomes hopelessly
trapped, and is subsequently impaled and drained by the seedkin's thirsty roots. Despite their
mucus coating, the leaves of a flying trap are surprisingly palatable and nutritious. Through
washing is, however, advised. ​(Variants: Barometz, Chocobo Legtrap, Icetrap, Kedtrap, Lily of
the Saint, Lily of the Vale, Matagaigai, Mitetrap, Flytrap, Roselet, Roseling, Sleet Trap, Sweet
Trap, Toxic Battrap)
❣Fogweed​- This perennial plant was introduced to Eorzea by the Sharlayans. Growing
unchecked after the exodus, it has since spread and become an indigenous plant of the
Dravanian forelands. When cured and dried, this plant can be smoked to calm the nerves. Vath
do not see the appeal it holds for the five races. The most common smoking-herb in Eorzea.
The Eorzean equivalent to tobacco.
⚘☠Foxglove​- A poisonous herb native to the Coerthas highlands. Up to twenty purple
finger-length flowers can bloom on a single stalk.
✄Frost Cotton​- A soft and fluffy variety of cotton named for its resemblance to morning
hoarfrost.
Fragrant-Leaved Plant​- This otherwise ordinary leaf emits one of the most wonderful aromas
ever experienced. It is too bad that no one seems to know what the plant is called. Found in the
Azim Steppe.
Fragrant Steppe Wildgrass​- Unusually fragrant wildgrass, rare even on the Azim Steppe.
Frantoio​- This olive cultivar can be used to produce a large amount of high-quality cooking oil.
❧Funguar​- These ambulatory fungi are most commonly encountered in the damp environs of
dense forests and limestone caverns. Possessed of a unique texture and taste, funguar caps
are considered a delicacy among Eorzean gourmands. Despite their extreme sensitivity to arid
conditions, offshoots of the funguar family have been found in regions across the world,
prompting much scholarly debate over their method of diffusion. ​(Variants: Divan Mold, Eftstool,
Funguar, Prisoner’s Delight, Sylph Bonnet, Toadstool)
❧Furymint​- Named after the spear-like shape of its leaves, this variety of mint has a cooler,
less biting flavor than its darker-leaved cousin peppermint.

G
❣²❧Gaelicatnip​- A relative to pepper- and spearmint, gaelicatnip is an aromatic herb often
brewed into teas. While it has no effect on the five races, the oil contained in the leaves is
known to cause gaelicats and other normally aggressive feline beastkin to exhibit excessively
playful behavior.
⚕❧Galago Mint​- A leafy herb with a crisp, fragrant aroma. It is often used in cooking and in
teas, as well as for its essential oil. | As galago mint leaves mature, the oils produced within the
leaves evaporate, making them less fragrant than their younger counterparts. | The oils
produced within these newly formed buds are highly fragrant, making them perfect for flavoring
cakes and liquors.

islets. Fortunately for you, this one seems content with dining on vilekin.
❧Gyr Abanian Carrot​- Gyr Abanian carrots are not only longer, but a far deeper orange- nay,
crimson- than those grown in central and western Eorzea.
❧Gyr Abanian Wheat​- A close cousin to highland wheat, Gyr Abanian wheat has been
improved by Ala Mhigan farmers over generations to increase both flavor and yield.
☘Gysahl Greens​- A leafy vegetable indigenous to the Near East. While too bitter for most
people's tastes, chocobos are known to enjoy the flavor, and thus the greens are often used as
fodder for the animals. While commonly grown in the Near East and Eorzea, this variety
originated in Coerthas, while the chysahl greens found growing in Coerthas currently are the
true Near Eastern variety.

H
❧Hallowed Basil​- An herb with an aroma so heavenly, the gods themselves must have
blessed it (or so say merchants who would see you buy their stock).
⚘Halone Gerbera​- A flowering ornamental plant said to be beloved of Halone, the Fury.

typically avoided by the residents of Radz-at-Han, it is a favorite amongst chocobos, and is
known to restore feathers to their original hue.
Harcot​- A particularly fragrant variety of apricot.
⚘❧Heavens Lemon​- Possibly due to the increased sunlight it receives growing above the
clouds, heavens lemons lack the acidity of normal sun lemons.
❧Heavensnut​- Some of Eorzea's more pious peasants believe the pattern of grooves found
upon the shell of this otherwise ordinary walnut to be proof that a messenger of the heavens
has blessed the fruit.
⚕Heavenspillar​- Scattered throughout the Twelveswood, there stand trees so tall that they are
thought to be the pillars which support the heavens, so ancient that they were giants when the
