Seashrub

The seashrub split from its ancestor the river shrub. Some shrubs got wash out to sea and survived in the salty ocean. The adaptation to cope salt water allowed to thrive in an area where there were few other flora. The yellow-orange sand it lives in is full of sulfur washed to shore from the sulfur vents. This gave the shrub a boost since sulfur helps flora grow and thus allowed it to doubled in size. Its long leaves stretch up to the surface collecting light while its roots dig deep into the mineral rich sand. It also now has floating seeds which are neutrally buoyant in the water and float with the currents across the temperate coast.
