                Another legend tells  us about gods filling  the






            world with plants and animals  of  all  kinds,  but  most


            mouintain regions remained uninhabited, as they were







            cold and unwelcoming. Only one plant agreed to stay in
            the  hills.  The  gods  thanked  the  plant by  granting  it

            healing  powers. This plant was the Golden Root.
                Not only the beautiful bronze colour was the reason to
            name  the  plant  that  way,  but  also  the  fact  that  it  was
            highly  valuable.  Despite  being  light-yellow    colour,  it
            was named "rosea" because of the gorgeous smell that it
            has during bloom season.
