“Large hanging purple flower. Bitter, but appears to have some restorative benefits. Will continue to investigate.”— Senior Scribe Neriah, Botany terminal - The Prydwen
Ranunculacae serranus,[1] commonly called hubflower in the Commonwealth, is a mutated species of flowering plants from before the Great War. They create sizable bushes with large, hanging, and bitter-tasting violet flowers that have restorative effects[2] and can be processed into a variety of curatives, ranging from teas and pastes, through salves, to a variety of drugs.[3] For the Chemist perk, this item is treated as a chem, as the HP gained from consuming it will increase.
Locations[]
There is a total of 506 spawns in the Commonwealth, 50 on The Island, and 112 in Nuka-World.
One can be found on the right side of the path leading back to Sanctuary Hills after emerging from Vault 111 shortly before reaching the bridge.
At the Wildwood Cemetery, north of Covenant, there are seven to ten bushes spread among the tombstones.
There are three bushes directly in front of the robotics disposal ground, as well as a number of additional bushes in the area between the robotics disposal ground and USAF Satellite Station Olivia (east of the road leading south from the disposal ground).
Four can be found southwest of Covenant surrounding an abandoned two-story house.
Several can be found on the sides of the road northwest of Greentop Nursery. They continue to appear just outside of and leading to Recon bunker Theta all the way to the shed at Lake Quannapowitt, among the abundant bloodleaf plants, silt bean plants, and a handful of other types of blossoms.
