'''Shalebark''' is a class of plants native to [[Roshar]]. Though it comes in many forms, it always looks like stone with retractable, often fanlike, tendrils {{article ref|Shallan's sketchbook}}. Shalebark grows wild in such diverse locations as the relatively barren [[Shattered Plains]]{{book ref|sa1|6}} and the jungles growing on the [[Tai-na]] in the [[Reshi Sea]].{{book ref|sa2|i|3}} It is also used extensively in landscaping across Roshar.
