[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 8619913, member: 25818"] There were a few good system neutral articles providing plants in old [B][I]Dragon[/I][/B] magazines: [LIST] [*]"Wounds and Weeds" by Kevin J. Anderson (#82) gave some healing rules and descriptions of twelve real-world herbs: Aaron's rod, adder's-tongue, birthwort, comfrey, garlic, henbane, herb true-love, juniper berry, marsh-mallow, St.-John's-wort, sphagnum moss, and woundwort. [*]"The Legacy of Hortus" by Jack Crane (#87) provided descriptions of fifteen fanciful animal-plant hybrids: beebalm, butterfly flowers, catnip, cobra orchids, cowslips, dandelions, foxglove, horehound, lambs ear, parrot tulips, smartweed, snake vine, snap dragons, tiger lilies, and wormwood. [*]"The Plants of Biurndon" by Eric W. Pass (#108) gives descriptions of thirteen trees and herbs from the author's home campaign: sticktree, rivertree, papertree, medicinetree, redtree, natertree, lenthal, graveolens, boneset, redoil, angelica, blue tonic, and felamour. [*]"The Ecology of Carnivorous Plants" by Gregg Chamberlain (#137) covers carnivorous plants in both the real world and in gaming; he doesn't provide any new plants, but discusses the carnivorous plants in various AD&D books. [*]"The Dragon's Bestiary" by Gregg Chamberlain (#167) has AD&D stats for eight monstrous plants: giant bladderwort, giant butterwort, giant rainbow plant, giant waterwheel plant, swordgrass, clubfern, bloodflower, and hellborn. [*]"The Dragon's Bestiary: Bad Seeds" by Ed Bonny, Skip Williams, and Steve Winter (#292) has seven plant/fungus monsters: death’s head tree, greenvise, myconid, needleman, orcwort, wortling, and red sundew. [*]"Arcane Botanica" by Noel Scott (#357) talks about twelve new magical plants: djinn blossoms, nahre lotus, orevine, salamander orchids, aelfengrape, coldwood, fey cherry, flame clove, glowvine, lakeleaf, lichbriar, and tahtoalehti (aka, wishfern). [/LIST] Aside from the ones that are based on just awful puns, there are some cool ideas in there! [/QUOTE]
