#There's also Bog Myrtle which is... tantalizingly close to the right range

Could also be words 'imported' by kittypets (Kittypet mentions a plant no one has heard and slowly it gets adopted into names somehow, maybe their name is cypress and they explain its a plant to keep their name as a prefix) or carryovers from OLD OLD names (cat named Cypress is in the one original bunches of cats that made the clans, name gets passed around in their 'honor' despite no one having seen a Cypress)

Ohh... I do like that. I have planned for the Park Cats to contribute to the Clanmew language, after all... we can see where Ripplestar's SE goes and take note if there's any characters from it who deserve better; I'll combine their old names with new ones, the way River Ripple did, for Bonefall DoTC

So for example if there's a cat who gets unceremoniously killed for a dumb reason named Flower, I'll make her name Myrtle Flower when she joins River's Clan. Or something of the sort. I've imagined these guys come from further south anyway.

We'll see though, there's a couple of good fixes floating around
