Ancestor:Descendants:

The tribranch grovecrystal replaced its ancestor and began to adapt to the lush environment of Darwin Temperate Rainforest, growing to twice its ancestor's height. It also gained more crystal 'leaves' to collect as much sunlight as possible, gaining its distinctive 'three-pronged' look. It has improved even further on its ancestor's asexual budding process, and now produces new flora at a much greater rate: about one new plant is produced each week! They form large stands that dot the rainforest, towering over the other flora and fauna. There numbers are only kept in check by the grovecrystal krugg, which eat most of the new buds before they can grow large enough to regenerate from herbivore's actions.
