Chinese Lore- A selection of Mythical Flora (7)

This is the last of my flora compendium so it’s a bit short but enjoy: 

Meng Tree

Physical Description:

A tree resembling the locust tree in shape, bears yellow flowers but no fruits.

Special Properties:

Consuming it will help you to tell right from wrong.


Niu Shang

Physical Description:

A plant whose leaves are shaped similar to those of elms, has a squarish stem with thorns growing out of it and patterned roots.

Special Properties:

Consuming it will prevent you from fainting. The plant itself can also be used to fend off enemies.
