Description
A short, bush-like tree with dark foliage and large seed pods filled with black, waxy seeds. Native to the Havens but can sometimes be found at the eastern end of the Deep Wilds.
Interactions
If taken with Nott's Arrow or any of its products, can cause oversensitivity to light.
Dangers
Dependence is mild but can set in quickly with repeated use.
Medicinal Uses
Both the leaves and seeds contain a stimulant that typically lasts for several hours, though the seeds have a much stronger effect.
Culinary Uses
The leaves or seeds are often brewed into teas or sometimes added to other foods. Both are bitter, the seeds much moreso, but otherwise the flavor between the two is quite different. Curiously, people who enjoy one aspect of the plant are often quite adamant about its total superiority to the other.
Practical Uses
None.
Other Uses
The seed pods are pleasantly fragrant and are often used in perfumes, candles, and the like.
