Pioneer Glasssprout |
Replacing it's ancestor after the Flattened Glasssprout and Reflectabsorb had evolved, the blue longleaf has adapted to using elongated leaves for photosynthesis. These leaves actually begin short, and grow longer over the course of the spring, summer, and fall, then blow away in the winter. At this point, both the leaves and the plant remain dormant, sprouting again in the spring. It continues to house beneficial microbes that fix nitrogen for the plant, and it has gotten larger as the topsoil has developed, causing it to break down tough rock deeper down, creating more soil.
