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:

"I tied shut this simple bandage with the tendrils of a carpet plant." Book 13, Explorers of Gor, page 347 

DESERT VEMINIUM:

"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." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 50-51

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 small trees, flahdah trees, like flat-topped umbrellas on crooked sticks, not more than twenty feet high; they are narrow branched, with lanceolate leaves" Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 72

FLAMINIUM:

"I recalled the flaminium, in the grip of Marlenus." Book 8, Hunters of Gor, page 154

"There was a shallow bowl of flowers, scarlet, large-budded, five-petaled flaminiums, 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:

Book 18, Blood Brothers of 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 Gor, page 250

"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 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, 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

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 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 

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 Sullage, a common Gorean soup consisting of three standard ingredients, and, as it is said, whatever else may be found, saving only the rocks of the field." Book 3, Priest Kings of Gor, page 44

TALENDER:

"Near a piling, 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 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 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, 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."

THENTIS VALINIUM:

"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." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, page 50-51

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

"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 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

YELLOW WINE TREES:

"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."
