List of Plants of The Edge Chronicles - S

• Sallowdrop - Resembles a weeping willow, grows near water. It produces a luscious, large fruit -from the illustrations- that looks like an aubergine and has the texture akin to a peach. Landfish lures look like particularly appealing Sallowdrop fruit.
• Scentwood - A buoyant wood that, when burned, is highly aromatic.
• Sour-cabbage - Similar to cabbages, but more sour. Commonly used as a foodcrop.
• Speargrass - Similar to some sort of grass.
• Spike-bush - Possibly a spiky species of bush.
• Stinkwood - A wood that is no doubt similar to scentwood, but creates a disgusting smell. Favoured by Tytugg's flat- and hammer- head goblins in Vox.
• Sumpwood - Little is known about the tree itself, but sumpwood is invaluable to wood-flight. The wood is silky and golden, and is unique in being the only wood that is buoyant enough to fly without being burned. Still, when not coated with mole-glue varnish, its level of buoyancy is very unstable and susceptible to small variations in temperature and humidity. The wood makes for a valuable component of skycraft. They were used for floating furniture in the first age of flight, for example the lecture theatre in the Knight's Academy (The Winter Knights).
