Token	Description
[PLANT:NAME]	The first line tells the game what string is used to refer to this particular plant. Required.
[NAME:]	The name of the plant, which is what you see in-game. Required.
[NAME_PLURAL:]	The plural of the plant's in-game name. Required.
[ADJ:]	What word is used to describe objects made from this plant.
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:STRUCTURAL:STRUCTURAL_PLANT_TEMPLATE]	Tells the game what template to use for the structural material. A structural material is required.
[MATERIAL_VALUE:2]
[BASIC_MAT:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:STRUCTURAL]	Sets the above as the structural material. According to Toady, you can use other materials (for instance, iron) but the game may hiccup on plants that aren't structurally plants.
[EDIBLE_VERMIN]	Vermin can eat this plant. The EDIBLE tags appear to modify the structural material template: "We also modify it a bit to make the plant edible. Any token material can be used here to modify the material that was created from the template."
[EDIBLE_RAW]	This plant can be eaten raw.
[EDIBLE_COOKED]	This plant can be eaten cooked but not raw. Doesn't appear to conflict with EDIBLE_RAW, oddly enough.
[PICKED_TILE:]	What tile is used for this plant in farms. Either a number, such as 6 [♠] or a letter inside apostrophes, such as ':' (confirm latter?). Required. See character table.
[PICKED_COLOR:]	The Template:L of the plant in farms.
[GROWDUR:]	How long the plant takes to grow. (Confirm whether seasons still last as long as before; it looks like it, since plump helmets have the same GROWDUR as in 40d.)
[USE_MATERIAL_TEMPLATE:DRINK:PLANT_ALCOHOL_TEMPLATE]	The alcohol material is established in the same way as the structural material, if there is one. MATERIAL_VALUE, DISPLAY_COLOR:#:#:# and EDIBLE appear again to distinguish the alcohol from the template.

[EXTRACT_STORAGE:BARREL]	Can also be FLASK.
[ENTERS_BLOOD]	Appears under the material definition for gnomeblight. Indicates usage as a poison?
[SYNDROME]	Illness caused by this extract.
[SYN_NAME:]	Name of the syndrome caused by this extract.
[SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE:CREATURE TYPE:CASTE?]	(eg. SYN_AFFECTED_CREATURE:GNOME_MOUNTAIN:ALL) Creatures susceptible to the syndrome.

[EXTRACT_BARREL:LOCAL_PLANT_MAT:EXTRACT]	If EXTRACT_STORAGE is FLASK, replace with EXTRACT_STILL_VIAL.
