One Hundred and Sixty-four

The One Hundred and Sixty-four is a formal list of plant species permitted for cultivation under the Second New Revised Book of Discipline. It is first referenced in the Cloister garden of a Decenarian math, where an avout remarks that a slashberry cane is not included among the permitted entries.

Role and Usage

The list is consulted when tending the Cloister’s herb beds and garden. Avout use it to decide whether a plant may be cultivated or should be removed during routine work or penance. Its intent accords with the community’s broader Cartasian Discipline, which regulates practices and materials within the math.

Related Lists

• The Eleven: a separate, shorter list of prohibited species. Plants on this list must be burned on sight and the action recorded in the Chronicle. In the cited example, slashberry is described as being in neither the One Hundred and Sixty‑four nor the Eleven, so immediate destruction was not required.

Current Status

The One Hundred and Sixty-four is actively observed in the Cloister garden and herb beds of the described math, shaping which plants are tended and which are uprooted.
