This field guide has a beautifully illustrated cover depicting various flora
of Alyria. You crack open the book and turn the pages carefully, marveling
that despite being labeled a used book, it seems it was hardly ever opened!
Randomly flipping to a page in the middle, you begin to read.
"The Cuscuta tangilens is one of 10 species in the genus Cuscuta, family
Convolvulaceae. More commonly known as the tangle vine, it is one of many
Cuscuta species that have become naturalized in Sepharia. This vine is
separated from other members of the Convolvulaceae that are either native
to or naturalized in Sepharia by the following suite of characteristics.
The plants are woody red-veined vines growing up to 5'6" in height, have
sharp barbs and creeping runner vines, flowers and fruits in open solitary
inflorescences, corollas pale lilac in color with pubescent outer surfaces,
yellow orange fruits that are laterally compressed and seeds that are
conspicuously winged..."
Your eyes begin to glaze over as the passage continues on and on ad
infinitum, and the pages of uninterrupted text seem to drain all energy
from your limbs. With no little effort, you pull yourself out of the "plant
induced" trance and close the book. Knowledge can certainly be a powerful
soporific.
