Wig Tower

As no animals now feeded on their berries, the speckled berry plant had to evolve a new way of reproducing. The wig tower replaced its ancestor on Yokto Island ;making the speckled berry plant extinct. The wig tower now reproduce by asexual spores as there is now to much competition from sticky flora on the island to risk sexual reproduction by pollination. The spores are spread by the wind and grow on leaves that moved up to the top of the stem where the berryes used to be, the leaves hang down like a wig because of the weight of the spores. The rest of the leaves that did not move upward moved down to ground level and although they still serve as the plants main photosynthesing organ they have another task, they are alot stiffer then their ancestors were and are partly rooted, making the wig tower somewhat more sturdy. The leaves task is an important one as the wig tower is tall but not thick and robust, this however is not without its reasons, the islepede on Yokto Island sometimes bump into the wig tower and thus shaking the stem so spores will be released. Should the stem break however, the wig tower can grow back out from where it was broken.
