Lionberries (Na'vi name: kllpxiwll meaning "ground sharp plant"), also known as Cynaroidia Decumbens,[1] are in the same genus as thistle buds and hermit buds. The lionberry grows a cluster of flowers, an inflorescence which resembles a single flower like the sunflower family on Earth. Samples of lionberry were taken to Earth with the thistle bud and hermit bud to study their genetic relationships and possible introduction to the Earth's ecosystem. The plant grows stems along the ground with cactus-like leaves as a defense against herbivores that would eat it.

Seen in Avatar: The Game

Each flexible stem of a lionberry is topped by a single inflorescent bud that can grow to a giant size. The buds are composed largely of aerenchyma, tissue filled with air spaces, and in the low gravity on Pandora, are quite buoyant. Plants grow in patches, which gives the appearance of a garden of floating blue balloons.

Its large seeds are used for food due to being a good source of protein. The petals are used for paints.

Gameplay[]

In Frontiers of Pandora, they are found in the Bamboo Grove Biome, Kinglor Forest, and River’s Embrace.
