Buzzleaf tree

The Buzzleaf was a species of tall, slim tree native of Anaxes.

Description
The Buzzleaf was tall and slim, having a reddish-brown trunk and usually yellow-colored leaves, though some subspecies with white and brown leaves were also known. The wood was considered far too brittle to have any practical use beyond being used as firewood by campers and hunters. The wood fibers, though, contained just enough protein to be consumed in a survival situation so long as the poisonous trunk was avoided.

As its name indicated, the Buzzleaf's leaves vibrated and flapped violently when coming into contact with any external force, a natural defense mechanism to shake parasites off of the tree's leaves. The leaves also converted sugars into ethanol, and as such Anaxite tea (also called Buzzleaf tea), brewed from the leaves of the Buzzleaf tree, contained an alcohol content similar to that of average ales. This tea could then be distilled until it becomes a liquor, typically having an alcohol content of around 20%.
