	'''Black Willow''': One of the many species of willows found across Elanthia, the black willow is so-named for its dark, green- black foliage and ebony wood. As with most of the willows, the black willow plays an important role in nature by stabilizing the banks of streams and rivers with its fast-spreading and branching root system. Male and female blossoms on the willows are borne on separate trees. Insects are the most industrious of the pollinators, but the pollen is very fine and readily windborne. The black willow grows along streams and ponds, anywhere there is damp soil. Curiously, many streambed willow bushes are also black willows, since the species takes either tree or bush form. As a tree, it may have a trunk diameter of six feet and its stems may rise as high as 150 feet. Even in the tree form, it usually grows with several main trunks rising from the same root system, as though it had begun at ground level.

		⚫	'''Bramblespine''': With small, sectioned trunks resembling a spine and bramble-esque branches, these bent, low, shrubby trees love a damp environment. Found growing along the banks of creeks and rivers, and sometimes right down into the shallow water, they maintain lush foliage most of the year. The spring offers a profusion of short-lived, pale pink flowers that appear shortly after the first warm spell, heralding the end of winter. The rest of the year, tiny, nettle-like thorns hide beneath the verdure.

	'''Spruce (blue)''': Any of various coniferous evergreen trees with needlelike foliage, drooping cones, and soft wood often used for paper pulp. The blue spruce is called such due to the frosted blue hue of the needles.

	'''Maoral''': The huge, tropical maoral is the only truly deciduous conifer. It sheds all its needles every autumn. The needles are only about an inch long. In spring they are a bright golden-yellow-green, in summer a warm blue-green, darker than the modwirs, and rich golden tan in the autumn. In spring, just before the new needles appear, the maorals are aglow with blossoms, the male flowers a pure shade of white, the females bright red with green tips, all of them very small. The female flowers mature into tiny cones, no more than three-quarters of an inch long, which stay on the tree all winter, shedding seeds. Maoral grows very tall and slender, sometimes as much as two hundred feet high with a trunk diameter of six feet. The tree is of slow growth, taking as long as two hundred and fifty years to reach a trunk diameter of twenty inches. Maorals prefer damp soil and often grow at the edges of swamps, but can sometimes be found well up on hillsides as long as the climate is moderate. They are essentially a tropical tree. Maoral wood is heavy and durable, and of a distinct reddish color. Maoral wood tends to be expensive, due the to slow growth of the tree. The Sylvans have been known to use maoral rootlets to sew haon bark together and make light, airy, temporary dwellings.		'''Maoral''': The huge, tropical maoral is the only truly deciduous conifer.

	<section begin=mistwood />'''Mistwood''': Related to Elanthia Ironwood, this branch of the family suffers from a parasitic disease that turns the trunk and wood core a pale blond hue. Unsuitable for use in armor or weapons, as over time it can warp and splinter as it dries out, the tree is still sought for commercial use in homes and other establishments. Treated with a sealant and polished with oils, the grain of the ~~word~~ is highly decorative.<section end=mistwood />		<section begin=mistwood />'''Mistwood''': Related to Elanthia Ironwood, this branch of the family suffers from a parasitic disease that turns the trunk and wood core a pale blond hue.

	'''Modwir''': Modwir needles have a soft, almost fuzzy appearance from a distance, with foliage bunched toward the ends of twigs so that the overall texture might best be described as clumpy. It tends to send out five branches a year in a whorl around its central stem. The upper branches tend t arch strongly upward, spaced widely enough apart on older trees so that each branch can be distinguished from a distance. Its cones are five or six inches long, narrowly cylindrical and chocolate brown in color. They remain closed and green the first year, ripen, turn brown, relax their scales and release seeds the second year. The modwir is relatively swift of growth. A seedling will reach a height of a hundred feet and a trunk diameter of thirty to fifty inches in thirty years. The mature bark is scaly grey with irregular but generally vertical grooves, often marked with white streaks of gum of resin from broken branches. The wood has long been prized for ship-building.

	'''Acacia''': Any of various often spiny trees or shrubs having alternate, bipinnately compound leaves or leaves represented by flattened leafstalks and heads or spikes of small flowers. A relative of the pea family. The slightly spice-fragranced flowers can be used in arrangements.

	'''Alder (speckled''': The alder is actually a large shrub, a group of stout stems from a common root. These however can grow to quite a height, and can occasionally produce a small tree with a trunk as much as a foot in diameter and 30-40 feet high. It has wrinkled leaves broadly ovate in shape and irregularly toothed. It has purple and yellow male catkins about three inches long, and it bears small cones with round-winged seeds that persist on the tree all winter. Alders flourish over a broad range, from the mountainous areas south of Wehnimer's Landing, extending east and south. The alder has little value as a timber, but is a good choice of kindling and firewood.		'''Alder (speckled)''': The alder is actually a large shrub, a group of stout stems from a common root.

	'''Apple''': A spreading tree that bears white or pale pink, fragrant flowers in the spring, which mature into fruits. A crisp and sweet treat, sometimes with a tart bite to it. A favorite for pies and some cakes or tarts.		'''Apple''': A spreading tree that bears white or pale pink, fragrant flowers in the spring, which mature into fruits.

	'''Lasimor''': Ranging in height from twenty to eighty feet, the lasimor tree has smooth, slate grey bark with barely discernible darker swirls. Thick, sanguine sap seeps from sporadic areas of the trunk and has a faint scent of tar. The deep red leaves are long and narrow, reminiscent of sword blades. The trunk is an amalgamation of a minimum of three trees grown together, the largest documented being seven. The heartwood is fine grained with narrow striations in varying shades, ranging from grey to yellow to reddish brown. The lasimor can only grow in the temperate, freshwater boggy areas outside of Ta'Vaalor. Due to its rarity and required growing conditions, only elven woodworkers have mastered its use.<br>		'''Lasimor''': Ranging in height from twenty to eighty feet, the lasimor tree has smooth, slate grey bark with barely discernible darker swirls.
