Description

Top row: Cloud pink, cradelbells
Middle row: Coral bells, douters
Bottom row: Evron, hebon

Cloud Pink: A common weed found on rocky islets in the Open and Baronies alike. This herb has long, thick blade-like leaves and a chive-like flower on a long stalk. Despite the name, cloud pink flowers can be any shade from deep violet to pearly white. They are a common companion plant of douters.  
Cradelbells: This violet bell-shaped flower looks similar to some varieties of bellflower, but is toxic. If ingested it can cause profuse sweating, heart palpitations, nausea, intestinal distress, and coma. In very small, controlled doses it can be used to induce labour, while larger doses can also be used to terminate a pregnancy.

Coral Bells: An herb with red, hand-sized, rounded leaves and columns of pale pink or yellow flowers suspended from long stalks. Native to the Shallows, they are sometimes grown in Ardean gardens with plenty of shade and protection from cold winds. In their native woodlands they are gathered by elves for use in medicines to treat inflammations and pain.

Douters: This humble white and pink flower resembles bladder campion and is commonly found on small islets in the Open. When it goes to seed the “bladder” floats off the stalk until it attains a specific altitude, at which point a chemical reaction causes it to emit a gas much less dense than air, causing it to descend. This same gas can be harvested to create Leadwing bombs.

Evron: A relative of raspberry, these pinkish or orange berries are plentiful in the Barrier and often harvested in quantity by dwarves who use them to make sweets and jams, or ferment them into a potent liquor they call Old Evie. Ghido, curiously, find them distasteful and only eat them when other sources of forage fail, and treat Old Evie as a poison.

Hebon: Sometimes called dark-yew, this evergreen shrub has strong, flexible wood much preferred by elves for making items that require resiliency to stresses, such as sled runners and bows. It produces small, waxy red berries that are deadly poisonous, which can be crushed and brewed to yield the potent toxin Hebenon.

I'm also aware that G comes before H but I missed it on my list, so Glowberries will be on the next one.
