Salorisa
Salorisa shrubs were indigenous to the Wehnimer's Landing region. They were described as having reddish bark with twisted branches, and golden foliage in the form of small round leaves resembling gold coins. There were pink cascades of flowers which gave a "honeylike fragrance", being used for potpourri after being dried out, with the shrub "creeping" out by growing horizontally.
Behind The Scenes
Salorisa was one of the few I.C.E. Age words that was never changed. They were originally toxic flowers, releasing poisonous pollen that killed large animals. The burial mound in The Graveyard was covered with them, implicitly making the whole area hostile to life in the spring. The flowers were still pink, but the leaves were blue. The blue leaves may have been intended to represent water, since the burial mound resembles an over-turned war ship.
