Ancestor:Descendants:

The brush carnofern split from its ancestor, the alpine carnofern. Its digestive sticky fibers have clustered around the tops of the leaves. Capillaries in their branches will rapidly inflate with water when sensory hairs detect movement, forcing their branches to push out and brush off stickyballs from creatures nearby. In fact they are so good at cleaning off stickyballs that creatures will especially seek out the plants to clean themselves off. These brushes then digest the stickyballs stuck in them.

It also has a single flower on the top which will release airborne pollen and then, once mature, will grow a cluster of seed-filled berries which are eaten and spread by the local wildlife. It also has developed a thick trunk in which it can stay dormant in during the cold winters.
