Minor Plants are other lesser plants that usually do not have a proper structure to them to be categorized into other flora types. they are almost always found growing uncontrollably everywhere, occupying any open space they can!
The following are the minor plants that are recognized:
Bioluminescent Moss Orange
Etymology and Anatomy
The Orange colored bioluminescent bryophyta or moss are found in some cavelets. They glow a bright orange glow and are usually seen along with Red Fungi.These flora are found growing in open spaces. These plants tend to thrive in most locations. Because of their nature, they provide a pleasant ambience during exploration.
Narrative Involvement
Some minor caverns that the Freelancer has visited have orange bioluminescent moss on their walls. This particular-colored moss is quite rare when compared to others. Sumner once took a lot of the bryophyta to write Aruna's name all across Fort Tarsis. He apparently stole it from many sources, including Arcanist labs and Brin's office in 468 LV. Although the color of the glowing bryophyta isn’t confirmed.
Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)
- This plant isn’t named in
Anthem. So, in this section, it is named after its real-world counterpart and appearance. - There will always be Red Fungi wherever orange bioluminescent moss is shown growing.

Bioluminescent Moss Teal
Etymology and Anatomy
The teal colored bioluminescent bryophyta or moss are found in most cavelets. They emit an enchanting teal glow. Sometimes they grow concurrently with regular moss.These flora are found growing in open spaces. These plants tend to thrive in most locations. Because of their nature, they provide a pleasant ambience during exploration.
Narrative Involvement
Most underground and major caves that the Freelancer has visited have teal bioluminescent moss on their walls. This particular-colored moss is one of the most important sources of light when visiting dark areas. Sumner once took a lot of the bryophyta to write Aruna's name all across Fort Tarsis. He apparently stole it from many sources, including Arcanist labs and Brin's office in 468 LV. Although the color of the glowing bryophyta isn’t confirmed.

Grass
Etymology and Anatomy
Grass is a common minor flora found in Bastion. It grows like an occupant in all type of biomes. Around Vesnids and scars, it is a decaying brown in color. Elsewhere, grass is, as expected, a bright green.These flora are found growing in open spaces. These plants tend to thrive in most locations. Because of their nature, they provide a pleasant ambience during exploration.
Narrative Involvement
These minor flora are not known to cause any trouble. They are harmless and are pleasant to look at. They do not do any damage to any javelin, or other living or non-living things.
Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)
- Grass is mostly found in the form of underlying texture of most places where greenery is seen.

Moss
Etymology and Anatomy
Moss is also commonly called bryophyta. It is a patchy flora that grows on all kinds of surfaces including Shaper Structures, Human ruins, trees, cliffs, cave walls, abandoned structures and more! Some Bryophyta can glow in the darkness They are classified separately based on the color of the light they emit. Moss doesn't change color during various seasons. Occasionally, Moss is seen in the form of mounds.These flora are found growing in open spaces. These plants tend to thrive in most locations. Because of their nature, they provide a pleasant ambience during exploration.
Narrative Involvement
The Freelancer can encounter all the minor flora everywhere. They primarily add to the beauty of the world and do not have any more functions. These flora types tend to sprout anywhere!
Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)
- This plant’s design isn’t revealed in Anthem.
- Moss is patchy and is seen as texture that grows on structures and other plants.

Lichen
Etymology and Anatomy
Lichens are simple slow-growing plant that typically forms a low crusty, leaflike, or branching growth on rocks, walls, and trees. This also includes ruins and Shaper structures.These flora are found growing in open spaces. These plants tend to thrive in most locations. Because of their nature, they provide a pleasant ambience during exploration.
Narrative Involvement
The Freelancer has encountered several overgrowth of lichens in damp Shaper ruins. They are also occasionally found on the bark of trees. Lichens are difficult to identify as they tend to be small.
Trivia (May Contain Spoilers)
- This plant isn’t named in Anthem. So, in this section, it is named after its real-world counterpart.
- The crust-like growth of lichen shown in the image here looks similar to the crust-like snow or frost formations outside the walls of Fort Tarsis during winter, but with a color swap to white.

So you're it.
Lucky you.
Hypothetically, someone—let's call him "Shmatthias"—had too much to drink one night and decided to write Aruna's name in bioluminescent bryophyta across half the buildings in Fort Tarsis in such a way that it could only be read from her apartment window.
To accomplish this task, drunk idiot Shmatthias may or may not have broken into the labs of several other Arcanists in the Fort to obtain said glowy moss, and then, when that didn't turn out to be enough to finish the last letter, also snuck into Sentinel Brin's office and stole all of hers.
If something this foolish had happened, hypothetically, could you hypothetically smooth things over with Brin before she conducts a hypothetical investigation?
Admitting to nothing,
Sumner |

Special Trivia
- Anthem is the game which has the most unique number of plant or flora designs when compared to any other Bioware game, especially when seasonal changes are considered.
- There may be more than the flora types mentioned here that are easily missed because of the sheer size of the map of Anthem and the already existing biodiversity.
