My immediate thought for a RW analogue would be heather: as used to make heather ale (very nice), heather honey (yum!) and in the remote Highlands, to build houses (yes, really).
Then it occured to me that when I was moving my "Gloranthan songs" page from server to server, I found a song called "Wild mountain thyme" that looked terrribly mythic, but I'd never managed to sort out Gloranthan meaning for. Thyme is sort of similar to heather, only has herbal properties as well....
and at that point my inspiration runs out.
Here's the song if you want a look:
