Sweet Red Spade

The Sweet Red Spade replaced its ancestor, the Clusterspades, on the continent of Barlowe. The Sweet Red Spade has sharp protrusions along its leaves which discourage herbivores. One leaf, however, is highly specialized. A long, central leaf is folded in upon itself and sports bright red, orange, and yellow colors. This coloration catches the eyes of Xenobees, which are also attracted to the nectar the central leaf produces. Xenobees will enter the fold at the center of the leaf to get at this nectar, at the same time encountering numerous sticky spores produced by the organism. As they travel from plant to plant Xenobees will carry these gametes and aid the Sweet Red Spade in reproduction.
