Capable of growing up to 1 metre in height and sporting both nettles and berries, white horsenettle (''Solanum elaeagnifolium'') is a flowering plant capable of growing in semi-arid climates with poor soil. As such, it is commonly found in the South and Southwestern United States. Unchanged by the environmental conditions that followed the [[Great War]], the white horsenettle growing in the [[Mojave Wasteland]] has exhibited few morphological changes in the past two hundred years. Along with the common [[Fresh potato (Fallout: New Vegas)|potato]] and various species of [[sacred datura root|datura]], white horsenettle is considered to be part of the Solanaceae family of plants.
White horsenettle is a plant, which has managed to survive the thermonuclear apocalypse with virtually no change in morphology. The white horsenettle is one of several dozen species of so-called "Stinging" Nettles; the plants themselves have thin, hair-like thorns along their leaves and stalks. When touched, the plant injects a compound derived from Formic Acid into the hapless unfortunate that got a nettle or two in their skin. Larger doses of nettle poisoning can cause itchiness around the wound site, inflammation, and blistering. They have a straight, tall stem and heart-shaped leaves. In maturity, tiny clusters of flowers form where the leaves and stem meet.

As with many other plants that share its taxonomic grouping, white horsenettle produces a glycoalkaloid compound known as solanine, which is highly toxic to many animals. Absorption of solanine in humans may cause symptoms indicative of severe gastrointestinal and neurological poisoning, including nausea, hallucinations, diarrhea, vomiting and cardiac dysrhythmia; left unchecked, this can eventually lead to paralysis and death. Most cases of solanine poisoning are brought about by ingestion of plant material; contraction through direct delivery into the bloodstream is possible, although such an occurrence is highly unlikely under normal circumstances.
Like all other [[Mojave Wasteland]] plants, ripe white horsenettles found in the wasteland will eventually regrow after being picked by the player, making them an unlimited supply of free food.

White horsenettles are useful plants as the seeds are used as basic materials for a variety of poisons, including [[Mother Darkness]], [[Tremble]], [[Silver Sting]], and [[Bleak Venom]].

White horsenettle is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics

Capable of growing up to 1 metre in height and sporting both nettles and berries, white horsenettle (Solanum elaeagnifolium) is a flowering plant capable of growing in semi-arid climates with poor soil. As such, it is commonly found in the South and Southwestern United States. Unchanged by the environmental conditions that followed the Great War, the white horsenettle growing in the Mojave Wasteland has exhibited few morphological changes in the past two hundred years. Along with the common potato and various species of datura, white horsenettle is considered to be part of the Solanaceae family of plants.

As with many other plants that share its taxonomic grouping, white horsenettle produces a glycoalkaloid compound known as solanine, which is highly toxic to many animals. Absorption of solanine in humans may cause symptoms indicative of severe gastrointestinal and neurological poisoning, including nausea, hallucinations, diarrhea, vomiting and cardiac dysrhythmia; left unchecked, this can eventually lead to paralysis and death. Most cases of solanine poisoning are brought about by ingestion of plant material; contraction through direct delivery into the bloodstream is possible, although such an occurrence is highly unlikely under normal circumstances.

Nevertheless, the berries produced by the white horsenettle plant have been used by indigenous tribes for food preparation, medicine and tanning. Like all other plants in the Mojave Wasteland, white horsenettle berries will eventually regrow after being picked by the player.

Uses

White horsenettle berries are an ingredient in many poisons, including Mother Darkness, tremble, Silver Sting, and bleak venom. In addition, they can also be used for turning the pelts of various gecko subspecies into tanned gecko hide, tanned fire gecko hide, tanned green gecko hide or tanned golden gecko hide. Although edible, white horsenettle is poisonous and will inflict a significant penalty to Endurance and Agility, offset by a pitifully weak healing effect and minimal appetite reduction. Thus, they are best employed for crafting purposes. With Lonesome Road, white horsenettle can be used to create fiery purgative, which purges the body of toxins.

Locations

Horsenettle tends to grow near civilized areas; they can also be found in isolated areas, though these are much less common. In general, under water towers, water tanks, pipelines and power lines is a good place to look.

Notes

  • Their procurement becomes much easier with Salient Green.
  • Though the rollover text on an unpicked plant states it is "White Horse nettle," the notification at the edge of the screen and the name of the produce once picked is "White Horsenettle."
  • Though the berries on the plant are green, once picked and then dropped, it can be seen that they have a brown color.

Behind the scenes

Originally, White Horsenettle was named "White Horsenettle Berry"[1][2], though this was changed at an unknown time before the game's release.
