Crystal Flora



Crystal flora are a type of flora that closely resemble a crystal. Their cell structure consist of two nuclei.

Body Plan
The body plan consists of an external photosynthesizing "cuticle", while the inside consist of red tissue.

Energy Source and Conversion
Crystal flora are mixotrophs just like plents. They get their energy from external resources using mycelium-like roots, as well as photosynthesis.

Gigantism
The largest of the crystal flora is the crystal solar tower. It grew up to be 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) tall. It was the largest organism existing on Sagan IV.

Reproduction
Crystal flora reproduce by spores. One type of crystal flora, the crystal trees, pack their spores in "fruits" to be eaten by herbivores.
