Descendant of Ancestor of


The spolimnia split from the purpplage. This plant, in contrast to its ancestor, produces only fruits in the tip of its leaves. These fruits are weightier and have a bitter taste flavor. Its trunk continues nearest to the ground, but the central portion of the plant developed a succulent structure, used to store water for drought periods. Their leaves are more malleable and lost a little of the toxicity, due to the move to a less harsh region. It developed deeper roots, leaving only part of them at the surface.
