Notes
Grows in every cart rut, wall base, ditch and disturbed verge in the Known World, and is recognized on sight by every person in it. Useless for anything much, though the crushed leaf is a mild remedy for stings and small cuts and every child is told so. Its persistence is proverbial. A thing that cannot be got rid of is said to be Waevel.
Native to Teraell, and hard in the way native plants are — the tissue lays down mineral as it grows, so the leaf is stiff and faintly glassy and a blade dulls on it.
