- Dwarf elder.Dwarf elder is a small green plant found on the sides of roads. it is supposed to be a cure for morrain in cattle. You would gather the elder and cop it up, and steep it in water. You would leave it in the water for a couple of days. At the end of that time the elder would be very soft. Then you would mix the elder and water and give it to cattle to drink to cure morrain.
