Carpet plant: I then rose to my feet and walked a few yards away, to a fan palm. From the base of one of its broad leaves I gathered a double handful of fresh water. I returned to the and, carefully, washed out the wound. She winced. I then cut some leaves and wrapped them about it. I tied shut some leaves and wrapped them about it. I tied shut this simple bandage with the tendrils of a carpet plant. -- p347, Explorers of Gor
Clover: I set her down on a bed of green clover. -- p96, Tarnsman of Gor
Cocoa (Cacao) Trees: "Is it from Earth?" I asked.
"Not directly," she said. "Many things here, of course, ultimately have an Earth origin. It is not improbable that the beans from which the first cacao trees on this world were grown were brought from Earth."
"Do the trees grow near here?" I asked.
"No, ," she said. "We obtain the beans, from which the chocolate is made, from Cosian merchants, who, in turn, obtain them in the tropics." -- p61, Kajira of Gor
Coloured Grasses: He picked up a stalk of a patch of violet grass, one of several hues in such gardens and began to chew on it. -- p216-217, Nomads of Gor
He made his way across some dark blue and yellowish orange grass and came to the buildings set against one wall of the gardens. -- p219, Nomads of Gor
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 , lien flower; it is also spoken of, in the north, where it grows most frequently, as the slave flower... -- p61, Slave of Gor
Fan Palm: One type of palm, the fan palm, more than twenty feet high, which spreads its leaves in the form of an open fan, is an excellent source of water, as much as a liter of such water being found, almost as though cupped, at the base of each leaf's stem. -- p310, Explorers of Gor
Festal Shrub: "What do you see?" I asked.
"Shrubbery." He said, "some grass, some rence, two trees."
"What sort of shrubbery?" I asked.
"Some festal," he said, "some tes, a bit of tor." --p339, Vagabonds of Gor
Flahdah Tree: Occasionally we passed a water hole, and the tents of nomads. 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. -- p75, Tribesmen of Gor
Flaminium: I slipped from the tent. I looked back once. I saw, to one side, a bowl of scarlet, five-petaled flaminiums. -- p192, Hunters of Gor
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 flowers which, cluster upon cluster, graced those linear, hanging stems, would each be a bouquet in itself, for the trees are so bred that the clustered flowers emerge in subtle, delicate patterns of shades and hues. -- p217, Nomads of Gor
Hemp: I had the Gorean short sword in its scabbard, my shield and helmet, and, wrapped in leather, a Gorean long bow of supple Ka-la-na wood, from the yellow wine trees of Gor, tipped with notched bosk horn at each end, loose strung with hemp whipped with silk, and a roll of sheaf and flight arrows.--Raiders of Gor, page 2
Hogarthe Trees: They were Hogarthe trees, named for Hogarthe, one of the early explorers in the area of the Barrens. They are not uncommon in the vicinity of water in the Barrens, usually growing along the banks of small streams or muddy, sluggish rivers. Their shape is very reminiscent of poplar trees on Earth, to which perhaps, in virtue of seeds brought to the Counter- Earth, they may be related. -- p300, Brothers of Gor
Ka-la-na: Beyond it, some hundred yards away, I could see the border of a yellow field of Sa- Tarna and a yellow thicket of Ka-la-na trees. -- p96, Tarnsman of Gor
Kanda: Tobacco is unknown on Gor, though there are certain vices or habits 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 ly poison. -- p24-25, Priest-Kings of Gor
Kes: 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. The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pah, a tree parasite, ivated in host orchards of Tur trees; and the salty, blue secondary roots of the Kes Shrub, a small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil. -- p45, Priest-Kings of Gor
Leech plant: Once I shouted in pain. Two fangs had struck into my calf. An ost, I thought! But the fangs held fast, and I heard the popping, sucking sound of the bladder like seedpods of a leech plant, as they expanded and contracted like small ugly lungs. I reached down and jerked the plant from the soil at the side of the road. It writhed in my hand like a snake, its pods gasping. I jerked the two fanglike thorns from my leg. The leech plant strikes like a cobra, and fastens two hollow thorns into its victim. The chemical responses of the bladderlike pods produce a mechanical pumping action, and the is sucked into the plant to nourish it. As I tore the thing from my leg, glad that the sting had not been that of the venomous ost, the three hurtling moons of Gor broke from the dark cover of the clouds. I held the quivering plant up. Then I twisted it apart. Already my , black in the silvery night, mixed with the juices of the plant, stained the stem even to the roots. In a matter of perhaps two or three seconds, it had drawn perhaps a gill of liquid. With a shudder I hurled the loathsome plant away from the road. Normally such plants are cleared away from the sides of the roads and from inhabited areas. They are primarily dangerous to children and small animals, but a grown man who might lose his footing among them would not be likely to survive. -- p33-34, Outlaw of Gor
Liana vine: 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. The second cut, made a foot or so from the ground, gives a vine tube which, drained, yields in the neighborhood of a liter of water. --p310, Explorers of Gor
Needle tree: Port Kar is, incidentally, completely dependent on the northern timber. 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. -- p141, Raiders of Gor
Palm trees: There are, however, more than fifteen hundred varieties and types of palm alone. -- p310, Explorers of Gor
Rence: A kind of papers is made from rence. The plant itself has a long, thick root, about four inches thick, which lies horizontally under the surface of the water; small roots sink downward into the mud from this main root, and several "stems", as many as a dozen, rise from it, often of the length of fifteen to sixteen feet from the root; it has an excrescent, usually single floral spike.
The plant has many uses besides serving as a raw product in the manufacture of rence paper. The root, which is woody and heavy, is used for dertain wooden tools and utensils, which can be carved from it; also, when dried, it makes a good fuel; from the stem the rence growers can make reed boats, sails, mats, cords and a kind of fibrous cloth; further, its pith is edible, and for the rence growers is, with fish, a staple in their diet; the pith is edible both raw and cooked; some men, lost in the delta, not knowing the pith edible, have died of starvation in the midst of what was, had they known it, an almost endless abundance of food. The pith is also used, upon occasion, as a caulking for boat seams, but tow and pitch, covered with tar or grease, are generally used. -- p7, Raiders of Gor
Rep: Rep is a whitish fibrous matter found in the seed pods of a small, reddish, woody bush, commercially grown in several areas, but particularly below Ar and above the equator; the cheap rep-cloth is woven in mills, commonly, in various cities; it takes dye well and, being cheap and strong, is popular, particularly among the lower castes. -- p10-11, Raiders of Gor
Sip root: She did not need the sip root, of course, for, as she had pointed out, she had had some within the moon, and indeed, the effect of sip root, in the raw state, in most women, is three or four moons. In the concentrated state, as in slave win, developed by the caste of physicians, the effect is almost indefinite, usually requiring a releaser for its remission, usually administered, to a lsave, in what is called the breeding wine, or the "second wine". -- p319, Brothers of Gor
I could not believe how bitter it was. I had learned from Susan, whom I had once questioned on the matter, the object. It is prepared from a derivative of sip root. The formula, too, I had learned, at the insistence of masters and slavers, had been improved by the caste of physicians within the last few years. It was now, for most practical purposes, universally effective. -- p30, Kajira of Gor
Talender: In the distance, perhaps some forth pasangs away, I saw of set of ridges, lofty and steep, rearing out of a broad, yellow meadow of talenders, a delicate, yellow-petaled flower, often woven into garlands by Gorean maidens. -- p131, Outlaw of Gor
Telekint: The drover threw back the hood of his burnoose, and pulled down the veil about his face. Beneath the burnoose he wore a skullcap. The rep-cloth veil was red; it had been soaked in a primitive dye, mixed from water and the mashed roots of the telekint; when he perspired, it had run; his face was stained. -- p87, Tribesmen of Gor. Tem: ...there was also, at one side of the garden, against the far wall, a grove of tem-wood, linear, black, supple. -- p217, Nomads of Gor
Teslik: The active ingredient in the breeding wine, or the "second wine", is a derivative of teslik. -- p320, Brothers of Gor
Tor Shrub: "You are sure it is a tor shrub?" I asked. He looked
"Yes," he said.
"I too, think it is a tor shrub," I said. The shrub has various names but one of them is the tor shrub, which name might be fairly translated, I would think, as, say, the bright shrub, or the shrub of light, it having that name, I suppose, because of its abundant, bright flowers, either yellow or white, depending on the variety. It was a very lovely shrub in bloom. It was not in bloom now, of course, as it flowers in the fall.
He looked at me. "So?" he asked.
"Do you notice anything unusual about it?" I asked.
"No," he said.
"How high is it?" I asked.
"I would say some five feet in height," he said.
"That too, would be my estimate," I said.
"I do not understand," he said.
"Does that not seem interesting to you?" I asked.
"Not really," he said.
"It does to me," I said.
"Why?" he asked.
"The tor shrub," I said, "does not grow higher than a man's waist." -- p339-340, Vagabonds of Gor
Tur: The most typical and famous tree of these forests is the lofty, reddish Tur tree, some varieties of which grow more than two hundred feet high. -- p129, Captive of Gor
Tur-Pah: 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. The principal ingredients of Sullage are the golden Sul, the starchy, golden-brown vine-borne fruit of the golden-leaved Sul plant; the curled, red, ovate leaves of the Tur-pah, a tree parasite, ivated in host orchards of Tur trees; and the salty, blue secondary roots of the Kes Shrub, a small, deeply rooted plant which grows best in sandy soil. -- p45, Priest-Kings of Gor
Veminium: The petals of veminium, the "Desert Veminium", purplish, as opposed to the "Thentis Veminium", bluish, which flower grows at the edge of the Tahari, gathered in a shallow baskets and carried to a still, are boiled in water. The vapor which boils off is condensed into oil. This oil is used to perfume water. This water is not drunk but is used in middle and upper-class homes to rinse the eating hand, before and after the evening meal. -- p52, Tribesmen of Gor
Veminium, Desert: The petals of veminium, the "Desert Veminium", purplish, as opposed to the "Thentis Veminium", bluish, which flower grows at the edge of the Tahari, gathered in a shallow baskets and carried to a still, are boiled in water. The vapor which boils off is condensed into oil. This oil is used to perfume water. This water is not drunk but is used in middle and upper-class homes to rinse the eating hand, before and after the evening meal. -- p52, Tribesmen of Gor
Verr Grass: On the shaded sides of some rocks, and the shaded slopes of hills, here and there, grew stubborn, brownish patches of verr grass. -- p75, Tribesmen of Gor 1
