Ancestor:Descendants:

The robust arid ferine has replaced its ancestor, the arid ferine in Darwin. They have grown twice as large. They have begun to adapt to heat as well as cold. Like its ancestor it will loose its branches in the fall and stay dormant in winter. Once spring comes around it will regrow its branches and bright pink flowers and by late summer will bear its berries. Its purple needles have become sharp clusters of brush-like clumps. This keeps herbivores from its eating its leaves. Its flowers grow out from small stalks at the end of the clumps so nectavores can spread their pollen without getting poked. It depends upon the woolly xenobee to spread its pollen. They have spread the treedundi, woolly xenobee, rosybeak phlyer, high grassland ukback, and dualtrunk.
