Pour Puff

The pour puff split from its ancestor the pufftower in Darwin Tropical Woodland. It has grown smaller then its ancestor. Due to this it can't spread its seeds by wind anymore. To overcome the need for wind, the pour puff grows puff-seed covered nuts that are pushed out of the bowl of leaves by newer growth. Once the leaves push them far enough, the nuts fall to the ground, breaking and scattering the seeds within. The leaves are shaped to be able to send the nuts some distance away before falling.

It no longer split from its roots to reproduce, and rely mainly on delivering the nuts away from the stem. Each year, for a week at a time, it produces nectar, this is to attract herbivores to drink from it and take the seeds before they are covered with the puffy nutshell. After the nectar is consumed to its fullest, the pour puff then starts generating the puff-seed nuts.
