Musk Okra
Musk mallow, otherwise known as the father of musk, is an aromatic, tropical plant known for its medicinal properties. Despite its native distribution, musk mallow is capable of withstanding frosty conditions, and as such has been traded between settlements across Dratora.
Musk mallow is used in the production of perfumes, as well as being worn ornamentally. More practically, musk mallow seeds are used as livestock feed, added to coffee for flavouring, and its leaves and shoots can be eaten as vegetables. Book-makers occasionally use musk mallow as a glaze for making paper. It also has medicinal uses, and is used in the production of disease treatments and anti-paralysis poultices.
In most industries, from perfume production to alchemical concoctions, musk mallow can be substituted for deer musk as an ingredient.
