A low-growing perennial shrub with small, dark green leaves and fragrant, night-blooming white flowers. Leafless for 2-3 months of winter, flowers from late spring through early autumn. Silver berries in the late autumn.

• Flowers can be steeped to make a relaxing tea known to aid sleep and bring gentle dreams.




• Leaves and root are toxic and should not be consumed. Smoke from burning the dried leaves, when inhaled, will produce heavy sleep and lucid, prophetic dreams, followed by a deep coma from which few awake without magical aid.




• The berries are vital components in several Lune rituals. In the long summer of Inspera, selenfleur only flowers, never setting fruit, so the few dried or otherwise preserved stores of these berries are highly valued; and for those who do not have access to the increasingly rare resource, those rituals are lost forever.
