Inktober 2019 #19: Harianas A coastal flower growing along the seasides of Wing Alayna, Fuline and Reline Ah and their islands. Though the hairs on the plant are commonly thought to be petals, they are closer to modified leaves. Not much is known in the way of use for the Harianas, but natives have dried them and used them as combs and scrub brushes.

Starla Tree

A tropical tree found on the Fuline Islands and the west coast of Wing Alayna by the Great Buddy Forest. Their fruits can be found in different colors depending on the season, ranging from blue to pink and even yellow. They have a somewhat sour taste in the dry season, pictured here, and are sometimes used for making jam. In the rainy season they turn blue and have a much more watery taste. When the rainy season breaks, they become yellow and have the sweetest taste then.

Yifli Tinitrii

A small tree found on certain Fuline Ah islands. Also called the Fulinean Varia Maria, some of these trees can be quite old despite their small stature, and are thought to be the ancestors of many of the current species of Varia Maria.

Varia Marias are a genus of plants with a broad range as they tend to adapt and change according to their environment. It was once believed that only one type of Varia Maria grew on each continent, but others of the same and different varieties have been found in various locations. That said, these new types do seem to only grow in a limited range, and even in their native growing area, many varieties tend to be few in number.
