| Bell-Fruit
A rare fruit said to bring visions to those strong in hiu. This small blue fruit is about the size of a cherry and grows on a slim tree in areas that are cool, shady, and damp. The scent of the flowers, which are a rosy pink and about two inches across, has been known to cause hallucinations; an incense called tibella and a drug known as blue kiro are distilled from the flowers. Even chewing the fresh bark may have hallucinogenic or vision-inducing effects, but it always causes severe nausea. Botanists say that the tree does not flower every year or fruit after every flowering and that it may be mistaken for a common wild cherry tree when not in flower or fruit. It has never been successfully cultivated and is found only in the high forests of the northern Blue Hills.
