Twin-Tail Orbibom

Splitting from its ancestor, this flora has earned its name from the appearance of its bulb. Thriving in regions of greater moisture compared to those of the sandy orbibom, the twin-tail orbibom has not only grown larger but has also changed its position as well, lying along the ground instead of rising from it. The spines on its bulb have been lost in favor of starchy growths, while the needles found on its leaves have developed a mild toxin to ward off herbivores  in order to compensate in the loss of defenses. These flora can live up to five years, though they die off as soon as they are fertilized. The bulb will then expand and fill up with developing seeds before finally bursting, releasing its "cargo" so that it may be caught by the wind and dispersed far and wide.
