Sillyweed

Sillyweed (Hantagorsara mantelliderica), also known as the rainbow peashrub, rainbow pea, rainbow garden pea and rainbow beanstalk is a plant in the genus Hantigorida native to eastern and central Parania as well as drier areas of Pasia and Gouba. Due to its often "silly" appearance of platinum, green, purple, and turquoise grass that typically grows between 2" and 20" tall as well as vibrant snap peas that come in various  colors from purple to silver, the plant is known as the sillyweed. The "snap peas" on the plant aren't actually peas and taste closer to a durian instead of a pea or legume in that matter; also, unlike peas, most eat the snap peas whole without opening the pod. 
== Description ==
Sillyweed is a large plant that grows up to 5 feet tall. A mature plant has a single erect stem that is averagely between 36" and 60", the top of the stem is then accompanied with pedicles that has around up to fifty of the sillyweed peas to hang off the pedicles, the peas are very long and are around 10" (254 mm) and 13" (330.2 mm) in length. The peas have a strange combination of taste, very similar to that of a durian, with a hybrid of savory, sweet, and creamy all at once, but despite being creamy, its a very hard pea that requires a bit of pressure using the teeth to bite into it, equivalently to that of an apple. The peas range in color with about fourteen colors being present, the most common are black, silver, and purple. The color does not determine the taste of the peas, contrary to popular children's belief.
== Etymology ==
The plant has five common names, with a dozen more that are usually unrecognized. Sillyweed is the common name for the plant used by biologists and naturalists and has its root in the 1800's from when Victorian children would call the plant sillyweed due to its awfully "silly" appearance of multiple colors, the scientists eventually picked up on that and commonly refer to the plant as sillyweed. The plant, despite not being a noxious weed, is sometimes capable of making large colonies in shaded areas, especially in the Isle of Chark where the plant is considered invasive. The plant also received names such as rainbow peashrub, rainbow pea, and rainbow garden pea purely for self-explanatory reasons, as well as rainbow beanstalk due to its tall appearance resembling that of a giant beanstalk as well as its long colorful "peas" which resemble beans due to their length.
== Distribution and habitat ==
Sillyweed has a fairly widespread population, but its original distribution included central-east Parania that ranged as far east as western inland Minuka west to eastern Hargenland down to southern Rabra in Pasia, the plant has higher densities in shady dry and arid habitat, typically accompanied with palms. The plant has reached the Isle of Chark due to its growing popularity by naturalists due to its unique appearance and is common on the side of parking lots and buildings.
