Asphodel à Asphodel is part of the lily family, gaining lily-like features with white or yellow flowers and narrow green leaves. Despite the bright colours, it is however, known as the flower of death and is mostly used to be planted in and around tombs.

Devil’s Snare à Devil’s snare has a magical ability to restrict or grab hold of anything in their surrounding area or whoever comes to touch it, however, resisting the power of the snare only causes it to use “greater force of construction”. It also has very distinct features as it has very tentacle-like limbs and prefers the dull and damp environment.

Alihotsy à Alihotsy is also commonly known as the hyena tree as the leaves of the plant can encourage uncontrollable laughter. The best antidote for this is the treacle of glumbumble if anyone had eaten it as it causes hysteria.

Dittany à Dittany is also known as ‘burning bush’ because it releases flammable vapours. Shredding the dittany is used to make the “winggenweld potion” that can help to awaken a person who has been induced to sleep through the medium of magic.
