Ancestor:Descendants:

The cellulosebane crystal replaced its ancestor, the slarti crystal-shoot. It has taken its ancestor's destructive chemical to the next level. Not only will this chemical restrict the growth of non-crystal flora but dissolves cellulose! Unlike purple flora and black flora, which are made of cellulose, crystal flora is made of photosynthetic chitin on the outside and a red fungus-like cells on the inside thus making them immune to this chemical. In addition, its airborne spores are covered in this chemical. Thus they are fatal to plents who breathe them in, since their bodies are made of cellulose like flora. Each of their crystal branches can open up and release their spores. The effect of this chemical has caused the following species to become extinct in its range; nightstrainer, slikent, sunstalk, sporeworm, worm phlyer, bottomleaf, crystal cruncher, neyah, purplerot, supershroom, fruity bluestalk, doubletongue, shroomworm, grailshroom, swampstrainer, whiskered hoofbear, trunked hoofbear.
