 Oran berries are 1 to 2 cm across and bright blue. Each bush produces dozens and the wild berries are an important food source for many pokémon while farmed or garden berries are made into jam. Oran berries have restorative properties and can staunch bleeding and heal cuts and bruises, although they can only **cure minor injuries**. However this is generally sufficient for restoring pokémon after minor scuffles.
+==== Persim ====
+Persim plants are medium trees that like sunny, well watered soils. Their leaves are have fine hairs over the lower side that gives them a blueish colour when seen from below. Their orange flowers have four petals and produce a distinctive sweet scent. Since persim plants dislike shade the trees are often grown ringing orchards of other berry trees.
+Persim berries are 4 to 5 cm across and a rich pink colour and very soft when fully ripened. While the ripe berries are sweet, for most of their growth persim berries are hard and bitter. The final ripening requires several days of bright sunlight and in the wild entire tree's worth can be lost if the season is extremely overcast or if the plant is overshadowed by neighbouring plants. While ripe berries only last a few days, the fully grown but still bitter fruit can be stored for over a month. Persim berries **cure confusion**.

 Pomeg berries are 12 to 15 cm across and have a tough, unpalatable outer coating. Breaking open the berry reveals several dozen large crimson arils (a tiny seed embedded in a pea-sized skin of juicy flesh) linked by a pale membrane. The arils have a metallic flavour reminiscent of blood; indeed, pomeg berries are known to **attract Blood-type pokémon**. This trait, along with their sinister appearance and red colouring of the berries, flowers and sap led to the Kyza considering Pomeg plants cursed.
+==== Qualot ====
+Qualot plants are shore dwelling plants that tolerate fresh or brackish water. A mature qualot plant can reach a metre high and several metres wide. Their leaves are ribbon shaped with a pointed tip to drain rainwater and their flowers a pale green tassel held clear from the plant on long tendrils. Qualot plants are challenging to cultivate due to requiring silty ground and sizable water canals for their roots to grow into.
+Qualot berries are 8 to 10 cm long and shaped like fat cigars that taper from a vivid pink middle to yellow tips. As the berry grows the tendrils that once supported the flower droop downwards until the submerged and the berry will only fully ripen underwater. The pulpy inner flesh is dotted with small seeds and rapidly causes numbness and mild paralysis of the mouth if eaten by land animals; fish are immune and the plants main means of dispersion. When applied to skin the pulp is a **topical anesthetic** that takes a few minutes to reach full potency and lasts approximately half an hour.
