Flatleaf Stalk

With next to no competition on the tropical island a species of the Negrosolis genus went through the process of island gigantism and is now ten times larger than its ancestor. Like all tropical sunstalks the flatleaf is light black to protect it from the sun. 4 of its leaves have become enlarged which allow the plant to photosynthesize more efficently as well as shielding much of the plant from UV radiation. Its roots have become thicker and longer which has allowed the flatleaf stalk to thrive in the nutrient poor soil of sparks island. Like its ancestor the flatleaf stalk's bulb like root allows these plants to hibernate during tough times.

On the top they have an orange spore chamber, which puffs out cylindrical spores. These spore clouds can sometimes be so huge that it can choke fauna nearby. Thus an orange haze is typically found around large colonies of flatleaf sunstalks. A lack of large herbivores on the island means the flatleaf sunstalk can afford to expose its spore chamber a bit more to the elements, allowing the plant to discharge its spores more rapidly than its ancestor.
