The river woodenberry replaced its ancestor, most live in the Ittiz River in clusters, although the occasional sickly one can be found growing in the Barlowe Tundra. Their leaves are fleshy and each one grows on the end of a long wooden stalk, the stalks are tough to resist the flowing water they grow in, the leaves and berries poke out of the water while the rest of the organism is submerged. The berries grow in a ball rather than the usual hanging mass like its cousins to keep them from being washed away in the water. The end of the berry stalk is heavy and breaks off easily, it is used as a weight to hold down the berries as they grow into the riverbed, the end of the stalk is red to attract any curious fauna which might knock it away from the parent plant and start a new cluster.
