Lurtress

The lurtress split from its ancestor. It has become terrestrial, spreading to the nearby rainforest and woodland biomes. To help support itself outside of the water, its roots have become an organized network of branching buttresses. This adaptation has helped it grow slightly larger. It has thick leaves have become 4 triangular petals. It has become so successful, it has out competed the qupe tree and driven the tribranch grovecrystal into recession.

Individuals live for 40 years, seedlings taking a week to germinate and 2 years to mature. Its resonating fans have become individual lobes to help produce a tone distinctive from its relatives. Like its ancestor and cousins, it will only grow the wind-sensitive resonating strings on its fan's holes when its ready to annually reproduce in the colder months. At the same time, it produces sticky nectar for pollinators (mainly scooters) who have learned to associate the flora's "song" with a sweet meal; the nectar contains reproductive spores that will stick to said pollinators, who will transfer the spores to the next lurtress. Once an individual has been "seeded", the resonating strings will degenerate and the individual will take 2 months to begin collecting enough energy to produce its airborne seeds. Once a seed has been produced and released it will drift around on the wind for a week before taking root to begin growing; the seedling will grow out its roots to their full size by the time its leaves open.
