Ancestor:Descendants:

The lacrimuck split from its ancestor, the yotwis, and spread through the higher portions of the river. Installed in the bottom of the river, it will grow a large bulb from where many leaves, located in the top of long branches, will emerge. In their base lies a chamber filled with air, water and exceeding sugars and salts, giving it an unpleasant taste to herbivores, preventing it to be eaten. These bubbles keep the leaves floating and allow it to spread the branches over a large area around the base.

When a rod is mechanically removed, is old or detaches from reaching the full size, when reaching the water surface, it is carried along the river and can grow a new shrub when able to touch the river bed and rest in that place. Short branches holding one or more bubbles can be wind borne easily, being carried to the upper portions of the river, reaching the salt lake and the river spring, establishing new flora formations. Due to the need of finding a place to rest and bury the submerged branches, lacrimucks usually are settled first close to the borders, in calm waters, forming a large community where new lacrimucks can grow later.
