The cave lamp-palm split from its ancestor the lamp-palm. It is very much like its ancestor except it has adapted to the cave environment. It gets its light from the cave mouth and any holes in the roof of the cave. Like its ancestor, the glowing slime, that was once only poison, is only excreted when the Lamp-Palm needs to reproduce and is releasing pollen. The light on the underside of the umbrella-leafs attract fauna to touch the plant and thus spread its sticky pollen.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
