The xidhorchia split from the purpplage. Shorter than its ancestor, this plant grows gradually along the years, forming a new ring of growth during each winter, launching roots of sustentation. For growing in softer soil, its roots can penetrate more and help on its sustentation. In the beginning of the spring the xidhorchia starts to develop its leaves, wider and less flexible than their precursors. While they grow, small minuscule flowers appear from pores located in the superior part of leaves, around the main vein. When fecundate, they initiate the development of the fruit, which grows under the leaf.
This fruit, in contrast with the succulent fruits of the purpplage and spolimnia, has only a fine layer that involves the seeds, being supported by fibers sensible to touch. The fruit develops during the spring and summer, ripening the massive amount of seeds and becoming drier. In the beginning of the autumn, the leaves start to dry and bend to top, displaying the fruits located in the inferior part. The tension of the movement breaks the sustentation fibers and the fruit explodes, launching the seeds to several meters away, facilitating their dispersion into the forest. The localization of the fruits in the inferior part of the leaves protects them and prevents the release of the seeds next to the plant and before the right moment.
