Star-mist

Star-mist was a type of flower that grew on the planet Cularin.

History
The Tarasin, a sentient species that was native to Cularin, would collect and dry star-mist plants and then burn them, which produced fumes that caused mild euphoric effects. However, other species did not experience such effects.

During the waning years of the Galactic Republic, the Human Selima DeWitt established the shop Natural on Cularin and sold star-mist there, because the flowers smelled pleasant and were popular with customers. Her business partner, the Cerean biochemist Higgie Sethven, studied star-mist and discovered that if crushed star-mist was boiled in alcohol and allowed to dry, a lilac-colored substance that stimulated nerve regrowth was produced.
