'''Vinebud''' is a type of [[rockbud]] that can be found in many regions of [[Roshar]].{{ref|name=dA}}
==Description==
Gardeners on Roshar have cultivated a variety of Vinebud that does not retract back into its stem. It is used as a houseplant. {{book ref|WoK| 37}}▼

Vinebud plants have an elastic, hollow stem. The stem normally has a cylindrical shape, but it can expand outward to accommodate the plant's retractable leaves, vine-like tendrils, and cone-like flowers.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}}{{book ref|sa1|37}} The plant retracts to protect itself from [[highstorm]]s or nearby motion, and the stem takes on a bubble-like appearance when it stretches to accommodate the leaves and tendrils.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}} Unlike common rockbuds, the vinebud appears to permanently root itself to the ground to avoid being blown around by the storms.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}}
The leaves and tendrils of the vinebud are longer and more delicate than those of the common rockbud.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}} The tendrils in particular extend far out of the plant and wave in the wind.{{book ref|sa3|115}} [[Shallan Davar]] speculated that vinebud is related to [[fingermoss]], a smaller plant with a similar appearance.{{file ref|rockbuds.jpg|Rockbuds page|post= from [[Shallan's sketchbook]]}}{{ref|name=dA}}
