The arudamarg split from its ancestor and has moved into Barlowe Chaparral. Its leaves are now filled with lignin, a chemical that keeps the leaves stiff. This stiffness makes the plant unattractive to most herbivores. The stiffness also allows the leaves to grow taller without bending like most grasses. This lignin also gives the flora a more pure yellow color than its ancestor. The lignin slightly stifles the photosynthetic abilities of the arudamarg, but its a small price to pay for the protection it offers. Because of the stifling effect of the lignin, and lack of water on the chaparral, its regeneration goes much slower than its ancestors. Younger leaves on the arudamarg will not have as much lignin in them as the adult leaves, and thus the younger leaves are more purple than the rest of the plant. Its roots have also become large and tough, being more like a trees roots that a grass. These large, tough roots also ward off herbivores, mainly the impaladiri, which commonly eats the roots of vandriswoop and kin.
