Larands

The larand genus group has replaced its ancestor, the cliff larand, and their relativess. They are easily identifiable by their predominant spore production stalks. Larands have spread across the globe since the Bloodian period, becoming the base for many ecosystems. Most have become year-round organisms, living for many years and producing spores multiple times during their lifetimes. L. harena, for instance, has managed to thrive in desert ecosystems, becoming taller and rooted to rocky desert outcrops. Its close cousin, l. caerdens, has also become successful in desert and tundra biomes, by growing in sand dunes and snow drifts, burying itself to protect its base.
