Ardata's Cup, also known as Alistophalia or The Pitcher, was a flowering carnivorous vine found in the Himatan, which utilised the decaying insects it trapped for nutrition. The vine itself was thick and crimson, hanging from the trees of the jungle canopy. Pale, veined, cup-like flowers (from which two of its names were derived) grew along the vine forming the trap. They contained a clear, sticky, and viscous poison so powerful that the Thaumaturgs used it as an anaesthetic.
