The segmented carnofern replaced its ancestor, the beach carnofern. It has doubled in size and has spread throughout Darwin. Like its ancestor its absorbs silicon from the soil to strengthen its bark and roots. Its branches are even more segmented and can curl up thanks to hydraulic chambers inside the branches. It has a form of anti-freeze that prevents the liquid inside from freezing when the temperature drops.
Due to the abundance of stickyball relatives around it has regained it distant ancestor's digestive leaves. Now if any stickyball relative try to grow on them, they can just digest and absorb them. Thus allowing for their leaves to photosynthesize without obstruction. In addition it has developed a symbiotic relationship with the ringtailed ketter. It not only will eat any stickyball relatives that grow on its trunk and branches but it helps pollinate its flower by drinking the nectar inside. Then when they visit another flower and spread the pollen to it. When the flowers die they will produce hard seeds in which they will pick and plant in the ground for it.
