Xander Root (Fallout: New Vegas)

Xander root is a consumable item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
Xander root is a large, turnip-like root with mild healing properties. It can easily be identified by its exposed head and tall green stalk protruding from a raised ring of dirt, resembling an onion. Once collected, xander root can be used in the crafting of both healing powder and stimpaks. Xander roots have the ability to grow again. They are commonly growing around trails and around the mouths of caves.

Locations
Xander root can be found across the wastes, often beside rocks or amongst withered roots:
 * Two can be found outside the Goodsprings Schoolhouse.
 * There are five plants southeast of Lone Wolf Radio, almost due south of Goodsprings source.
 * Two can be found along the trail leading up the mountain to the ridge with Johnny Five Aces' corpse.
 * There is one root located up a small hill to the right of the entrance to the NCR camp across from Primm.
 * Two can be found near Red Rock Canyon on the steep trail west from the fresh water spring behind the huts. One root is just past the dead super mutant, the other is further up the trail. The trail eventually leads to Ranger Station Foxtrot, where there are more roots. Beware, the trail is guarded by cazadores.
 * A dozen or more can be found at Deathclaw Promontory, on the east side of the river, north of Cottonwood Cove. Note: There are many deathclaws here (perhaps 20-25), so be prepared.
 * One or two can be found around the hollowed-out rock near the Tribal village.
 * A very large one (about 3-4 times bigger than the average) can be found between Jacobstown and Silver Peak Mine atop a hill just behind a rock.
 * One can be found in front of Bloodborne cave. Fast travel it should be right in front of you.
 * The largest amount (minimum 31 so far) within a relatively small area can be found by carefully scanning the whole area left and right of the road leading from Ruby Hill Mine to Jacobstown including the surroundings of Silver Peak Mine, Ranger Station Foxtrot and Remnants Bunker.
 * A massive amount of the root can be found growing in Zion Canyon, as are other wasteland fruits, including banana yucca fruit and Nevada agave fruit. One can easily collect at least 3 of each of the plants in under a minute.
