Polar Hummroot

The polar hummroot split from its ancestor, moving into the beaches. It hasn't changed much from its ancestor, save for becoming shorter and stouter. Its main adaptation is a new "wind-sencing" system: it has a special joint at the base of its leaves and a sent of nerve endings along the rim of its sail. When the wind blows on the leaves, the nerves sense the motion and sent signals to the joint, which then turns the sail in the direction, the joint itself can turn the sail 180 degrees in either direction. This adaptation is useful because its "humming" organs only work when the wind is blowing into them, now it can deter herbivores much more effectively; it has gained another set of these humming organs to further this cause. An individual lives for about 4 years, they reach maturity in about a month, after 2 years it begins producing spores for reproduction.
