BRAK BRUSH:
*"Almost all doors, including that of the House of Cernus,
had nailed to them some branches of the Brak Bush, the leaves of which, when
chewed, have a purgative effect. It is the thought that the pitch and the
branches of the Brak Bush discourage the entry of back luck into the houses of
the citizens." Book 5, Assassin of Gor, page 211

CARPET
PLANT:

*"The petals of veminium. the "Desert Veminium," purplish, which
flower as opposed to the "Thentis Veminium," bluish, which flower grows at the
edge of the Tahari, gathered in shallow baskets and carried to a still, are
boiled in water. The vapor which is boiled off is condensed into oil. This oil
is used to perfume water. This water is not drink, but is used in the middle and
upper-class homes to rinse the eating hand, before and after the evening meal."

-----
DINA:
*"... the dina is a
small, lovely, multiply petaled flower, short-stemmed, and blooming in a turf of
green leaves, usually on the slopes of hills, in the northern temperate zones of
Gor; in its budding, though in few other ways, it resembles a rose; it is an
exotic, alien flower; it is also spoken of, in the north, where it grows most
frequently, as the slave flower ..." Book 11, Slave Girl of Gor, page 61
*"That in the north the lovely dina was spoken of as the "slave flower" did
not escape the notice of the expatriated Turians; the dina a delicate, beautiful
flower, it would no longer be used in the southern hemisphere..." Pg. 62, Slave
Girl of Gor.
FLAHDAH:
*"About some of these water holes there were a dozen or so

more than twenty feet high; they are narrow branched, with lanceolate leaves"

on the small, low table between us." Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page
154
-----
FLOWER TREE:
*"And so we sat with our backs against the
flower tree in the House of Saphrar, merchant of Turia. I looked at the lovely,
dangling loops of interwoven blossoms which hung from the curved branches of the
tree. I knew that the clusters of the flowers which, cluster upon cluster,
graced those linear, hanging stems, would each be a bouquet in itself, for the
trees are bred so that the clustered flowers emerge in subtle, delicate patterns
of shades and hues." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, page 217
*"Beside several of the
flower trees, there were also some Ka-la-na trees, or the yellow wine trees of
Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree, about which curled its
assemblage of Tur-Pah, a viselike tree parasite with curled, scarlet, ovate
leaves, rather lovely to look upon; the leaves of the Tur-Pah incidentally are
edible and figure in certain Gorean dishes, such as sullage, a kind of soup;
long ago I had heard , a Tur tree was found on the prairie, near a spring,
planted perhaps long before by someone who passed by; it was from that Tur tree
that the city of Turia took its name; there was also, at one side of the garden,
against the far wall, a grove of tem-wood, linear, black, supple." Book 4,
Nomads of Gor, page 217

HOGARTHE TREE:

Gor, page 300
-----
KANDA:
*"Tobacco is unknown on Gor, though there
are certain habits or vices to take its place, in particular the stimulation
afforded by chewing on the leaves of the Kanda plant, the roots of which, oddly
enough, when ground and dried, constitute an extremely deadly poison." Book 3,
Priest-Kings of Gor, page 25
*"Kutaituchik absently reached into a small
golden box near his right knee and drew out a string of rolled kanda leaf. The
roots of the kanda plant, which grows largely in the desert regions on Gor, are
extremely toxic, but, surprisingly, the rolled leaves of this plant, which are
relatively innocuous, are formed into strings and, chewed or sucked, are much
favored by many Goreans, particularly in the southern hemisphere, where the
leave is more abundant." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, page 43
-----
KA-LA-NA
TREES:
*"The Ka-la-na thicket was yellow in the distance." Book 7, Captive of

posts, and for hull planking; Ka-la-na serves for capstans and mastheads;
Tem-wood for rudders and oars; and the needle trees, the evergreens, for masts
and spars, and cabin and deck planking." Book 6, Raiders of Gor, page 141
*"Beside several of the flower trees, there were also some Ka-la-na trees,
or the yellow wine trees of Gor; there was one large-trunked, reddish Tur tree,

-----
LEECH
PLANT:
*"But the fangs held fast, and I heard the popping, sucking sound of
the bladder like seed pods of a leech plant, as they expanded and contracted
like small ugly lungs. I reached down and jerked the plant from the side at the
side of the road. It withered in my hand like a snake, its pods grasped. I
jerked the two fanglike thorns from my leg. The leech plant strikes like a
cobra, and fastens two hollow thorns into its victim." Book 2, Outlaw of Gor,
page 33
-----
LIANA VINE:
*"We stood near the mud raft, that raft of
logs and liana vines on which we placed our shovelfuls of mud" Another useful
source of water is the liana vine. One makes the first cut high, over one's
head, to keep the water from being withdrawn by contraction and surface adhesion
up the vine." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 310
-----
NEEDLE
TREE:
*"Tur wood is used for galley frames, and beams and clamps and posts,
and for hull planking; Ka-la-na serves for capstans and mastheads; Tem-wood for

cabin and deck planking." Book 6, Raiders of Gor, page 141
-----
PALM
TREE:
*"I then released the blond girl from the palm tree and, tying her
ankles, threw her with the rest." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 310
*"This
was done. The little men then tied a vine collar on the throat of each girl and,
by the arms, dragged them, one by one, to a long-trunked, fallen tree. About
this tree, encircling it, were a number of vine loopings." Book 13, Explorers of
Gor, page 310
*"They could not slide themselves free sideways, moving the
vine loopings, because of the roots of the tree at one end and its spreading
branches at the other. They were well secured in place, their heads over the
tree trunk." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 310
-----
REP
PLANT:
*"this was unusual, however, for normally the Gorean slave girl sleeps
at the foot of her master's couch, often on a straw mat with only a thin, cotton
like blanket, woven from the soft fibers of the rep plant, to protect her from
the cold" Book 3, Priest Kings of Gor, page 67
-----
SIM PLANT:
*"I
did not know at the time but Gur is a product originally secreted by large gray,
domesticated, hemispheric anthropods, which are, in the morning, taken out to
pasture where they feed on special sim plants, extensive, rambling, tangled vine
like plants with huge, rolling leaves raised under square energy lamps fixed in
the ceilings of the broad pasture chambers, and at night are returned to their
stable cells where they are milked by Muls." Book 3, Priest-Kings of Gor, page
214
-----
SUL PLANT:
*"First she boiled and simmered a kettle of

-----
TALENDER:

small and delicate in the mud, she had found a talender. She bent to pick it up,
and fastened it in her hair, for Rim." Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 65
*"Cara
straightened up, the talender in her hair. She was quite lovely. I rejoiced for
Rim. The talender, fixed in her hair, is a slave girl's wordless confession,
which, commonly, she dares not speak, that she cares for her master." Book 8,
Hunters of Gor, page 65
-----
TEM WOOD:
*"The lances are black, cut
from the poles of young tem trees." Book 4, Nomads of Gor, page 15

TUR TREE:
*"Somewhere, far off, but carrying
through the forest, was the rapid, staccato slap of the sharp beak of the
yellow-breasted hermit bird, pounding into the reddish bark of the tur tree,
hunting for larvae." Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 106
*"More than one Gorean
poet has sung of the leaf of a Tur tree. I have known warriors who cared for the
beauty of small flowers." Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 119

for galley frames, and beams and clamps and posts, and for hull planking;
