Bloodleaf (Fallout 76)

Bloodleaf is a consumable item in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
The bloodleaf can be found in or near natural sources of shallow radiated water such as streams. It can be used to create simple bloodleaf tea or infused bloodleaf tea at a cooking station. It can also be used to create disease cure and healing salve at a chemistry station.

When affected by a blast zone it will turn into quantum leaf which will yield raw cobalt flux when harvested.

Behind the scenes
According to terminal entries in Vault 94, Bloodleaf is a mutated form of the real-world plant Iresine herbstii (Herbst's bloodleaf), which, unlike its Fallout 76 counterpart, does not grow in water. However, according to the Pioneer Scouts botanical plants poster, it is a mutated form of lotus in the Nelumbo genus, now known as Nelumbo aura.
