    A neurotoxin maybe? Ethanol is a neurotoxin, as is nicotine. One example of a paralyzing neurotoxin of plant origin would be curare. Enough curare to cause paralysis is usually fatal due to paralysis of the muscles needed to breathe.
    However, since you're writing fiction, I see no reason that your plant can't have a paralyzing neurotoxin with the effects you described.

    Thanks, that's the word I was looking for. ^^

    Mm yeah it's not delivered in high enough doses to be fatal for anything larger than a house cat I guess.

    Yup yup, I did want to base it on something real before changing facts to suit my fiction :)
    Maybe it's a fluid unique to this plant with specialized properties ^^


    Thanks again for the help~

    Just thank your lucky stars that you don't live where I do, walking back from the Library would mean walking uphill all the way.

    Yes. Well I always say halfway up a Welsh Mountain, because we are at 1200ft, but ours is only a small mountain compared to some. The highest Mountain in our set of mountains is Pen y Fan which is 2907 ft.

    ...Portland, OR is definitely no stranger to "heights".

    Within the city limits, the highest measured point is Wind Ridge Drive just off of SW Skyline Drive in the West Hills: Elevation 1,188ft.

    Council Crest Park, a prime viewpoint within the city is at an elevation of 1073ft.

    The "Burnside Hill" (Burnside St. being one of the major thoroughfares in the city) has a grade of 6.5% as it heads into the West Hills and crests at an elevation of 950ft.

    The Washington Park Zoo is at an elevation of 600ft and is served by the deepest transit station in the world on the MAX Blue/Red line (260ft below the surface).

    Mount Tabor is a dormant volcanic vent with a city park on it which rises to 550ft allowing for awesome panoramic views of the city below.
    One of the major annual summer events held there is the Adult Soapbox Derby in which contestants attempt to guide their oft eccentrically designed gravity powered racing machines down one of the steep twisty parkways. Speeds of 40mph+ are not uncommon.

    Like San Francisco and Seattle, Portland once had several cable car lines that scaled the steep slopes of the West Hills.

    Are you sure?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyongyang_Metro#Construction

    "Pyongyang Metro is one of the deepest metros in the world—the track claims to be approximately 110 meters (about 360 feet) deep underground.[7] (The Saint Petersburg Metro also claims to be the deepest, based on the average depth of all its stations. The Arsenalna station on Kiev Metro's Sviatoshynsko-Brovarska Line is currently the deepest station in the world at 105.5 metres. ..."

    (105.5m => 346ft...)

    ...keep in mind the word "claims". Unless they allow a neutral survey team to perform a measurement to verify this, it isn't official.

    Morning. Sun-kissed roofs and paving glimmering brightly everywhere you look today - big white clouds of pollen drifting lazily in sunbeams can't be good for people with hay fever - signs of Spring everywhere :)
