Ancestor:Descendants:

The flameleafs paddleberry split from its ancestor, the flightberry and moved to Ovi lake and Ovi river. For years in the Ovi-Hydro plains some flightberry lived near the riverbank. Some of their flying berries therefore ended up landing on the shallow river floor. There some successfully grew. These eventually evolved into the flameleafs paddleberry. Its seeds now instead of flying, swim to a new location. This is done both by the river currents and their own propeller corkscrew on the top of the stem. When the seed is mature it will detach from the plant and allow for the propeller to un-spin. The small sailing leafs will grow to become the plants' leafs and the corkscrew device will grow to become its roots. The water now carries its puffy spores as well. It will usually grow in shallow waters where its' leafs can get more light. It lost its ancestors stem-spines as there are no herbivores that feed on it in its new environment.
