Chapter 10: Gillyweed

Chapter 10

Name: Gillyweed

Alias: None

This is a very interesting example of flora. Gillyweed has the ability to make someone grow gills and webbing between the fingers and toes of whomever ingests it (effects last for around one hour in fresh water, three hours for salt water). This was discovered by Elladora Kettleridge, though the credit of the discovery went to Beaumont Majoribanks almost a century later. After eating it, she almost suffocated before sticking her head into a bucket of water.

Gillyweed is native to the Mediterranean Sea, and is a rare herb to come across. The most common use for the plant is the production of Gillywater, a refreshing drink that is quite popular.
