Salt Bubblestem

The salt bubblestem split from its ancestor and adapted to life the salty desert part of BioCat River. To cope with the salty water the salt bubblestem had to find some way of segregating the salt from what little water it could find.The salt bubblestem has evolved a system that help filter out the salt via the stem, the stem has evolved storage chambers similar to vacuole in the cells. In the rainy season the salt bubblestem absorbs water until all of the bubbles on top of its "branches" are filled with water, the bubblestem filters out the salt and excretes it from the stem through the "vacuole chambers", making it coarse to touch. With the bubbles filled with water the salt bubblestem can now survive the long dry season. They reproduce via budding.
