'''Lavis''' is species of plant from the [[rockbud]] family.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}} It is an important and ancient cereal crop on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|4}}{{book ref|sa1|19}}
Mature lavis polyps are filled with grains suspended in a sandy material. They are broken open, and the grain is separated from the grit and typically dried for storage.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}}
There are different strains of lavis. The variety grown in [[Hearthstone]] has polyps that grow larger than a man's head and mature in about four months.{{book ref|sa1|4}} There are smaller, heartier strains that can thrive in regions where the highstorms are stronger.
When the [[Highstorm]] stops happening, the farmers of [[Tashikk]] started planting lavis, [[tallew]] and [[clema]] during their rest-period.{{book ref|Edgedancer|12}} [[Kaladin]] also comments on this when he travels back to [[Hearthstone]].{{book ref|sa3|5}}
[[Hatham]]'s farmers have so far failed to cultivate lavis in [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|28}}

== Economy ==
Lavis grain is the basis of the economy in many small towns like [[Hearthstone]].{{book ref|sa1|16}}{{book ref|sa2|5}} [[Sebarial]] considers it a lucrative enough crop to include as an important part of the economy he builds in his warcamp on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|40}} The [[Akanny]] region of [[Sadeas princedom]] in which Hearthstone lies is especially fertile for growing both lavis & [[talew]], potentially feeding half of [[Alethakr]] with their yield.{{book ref|sa3|10}}
Lavis grain typically goes through several merchant middle-men on its way from the farming communities to the cities. By the time people buy it in the city, it usually costs four to five times as much as the farmers sell it for.{{book ref|sa1|27}}
It was handed out as a ration in [[Kholinar]].{{book ref|sa3|67}}
