Nascent Japonica

Nascent Japonica is an aquatic herb that grows best in more temperate climates and steady waters. While it buds a delicate purple-white frock of flowers, its leaves and stem are very hardy and are commonly used as substitutes for cabbages and pickled shoots, respectively. Its prefix is "Nascent" due to its ability to revert to its polyp (nascent) stage at the end of its lifecycle, experiencing eternal rebirth. Large populations of Nascent Japonica can be found in the mangroves dotting the Bay of Telluride, and in the quite off-shoot ponds found along the Presby River. 
The Japonica's flower has been historically used for many medicinal uses. It has been used in teas to promote digestion and treat constipation and other ailments of the gut. In a more active role, concentrated Japonica extract can be dropped into the eyes to produce an intense increase in visual acuity. This powerful astringent has been used by precision artisans and workers for thousands of years, as well as many Havanite marksmen and snipers. It cannot be used without cost though, as repeated use can damage the eye's muscles and cause heavy vision loss for a long while after.
