Ancestor:Descendants:

The river bulbostalk has split from its ancestor and moved into the Bone River. While similar to its ancestor in many ways, it has evolved some noticeable changes. One of these is an even stiffer stalk that can stand on its own even more so without the seed bubbles. Because of this, said seed bubbles have lessened in number due to lack of necessity but have grown in size in order to focus more on seed production. Reproduction is still the same, though the seed bubbles don't require something to knock them off and will be released on their own after a certain amount of time has passed since their formation. The resulting seeds produced are very hardy, and are capable of outcompeting the riverweed tuff in most situations where sunlight is a deciding factor for growth and survival.
