You are the descendants of a family of botanists. You are gathered today in the old family botanical study, which is full of dusty treasures but will be destroyed in 60 minutes along with the entire building.

While searching the room, you come across a letter from a family friend dated from 1715, explaining that she has contracted malaria, transmitted by mosquito bites. The villagers are treating her with a plant that seems to be having a positive effect. In her letter, she provides all the information about this plant and asks her botanist friend, your ancestor, to conduct research and analysis on the plant and its compounds in order to develop a treatment for malaria.

Apparently, your ancestor didn't pass on the name of this plant to their descendants, so you'll have to search the cabinet to find it! Millions of lives are at stake!
