Duronis II/Flora and Fauna

Flora

• Derma - Classification: Weed - The Derma is a flowering plant with leaves edged in white that produces a tubular root. The Derma oil used in the Laudean Birthing Ritual as described in Laudean Rituals & Customs is taken from this root.
• Foreo - Classification: Fruit - The Foreo plant is native to the province of Bryque. It is used in the making of Bryque Province Coffee.
• Guyver - Classification: Fruit - The Guyver is native to Duronis II, and not dissimilar to an earth mango, with a pale white flesh and no stone at the centre, rather there are tiny seeds throughout (the entirety could be eaten). The skin of the guyver is a thick leather-like coating which must be cut off and is usually kept and used to make material. It is also very hard to find when it is out of season. (sim 128). Material is for garments and the Season is March - May.
• Irchis - Classification: Flowering plant - The Irchis bush is a flowering shrub native to the area around the city of Eaven. It is cultivated and traded afield as an exotic garden plant.

It has attractive flowers that are cerulean blue when they open, changing to lavender and finally fading to white just before they fall. The flowers have a very pleasant scent.

• Minevra - Classification: Weed - The Minevra plant produces a miniture sized flower similar to Earth's sunflower, but because it is deemed "utterly useless" with no medicinal or aesthetic value, it is termed a weed. However, the Laudeans use it as part of their development of their Fielding powers. Zalkonian research has recently made a startling discovery about the Minevra plant. As well as blocking Fielding abilities, it also blocks all telepathy. Betazoids are especially suseptible to its effect. Too much exposure could kill them, and the stronger the telepathic ability, the stronger the effects.

"All Laudean women have to drink two cups of Minevra tea everyday. It's made from the Minervra plant that grows in the Providence of Damodara (see Duronis Physical Geography ), but the tea can be found any City markets. She start before beginning the second month when the child will start the accelerated growth. She will need a fielding to help her throughout the pregnancy." -Paetra Zrong

• Savo - Classification: Vegetable - Savo, a tubular vegetable, has a thick husk covering the meaty center. The taste is much like potatoes, but spicy and somewhat hot as mild peppers. Served raw, it is a chopped ingredient in salads. Cooked version are often served as a stand alone side dish to marine life.
