Desert Carnofern

The desert carnofern split from its ancestor, the hibernating carnofern and moved to Dixon Desert. Since Dixon Desert has a winter season, it will still hibernate during the cold season. Since there are no more stickyballs that stick to the leaves it has lost the ability do digest them via digestion-hairs. Instead the hairs have merged to a single membrane at the underside of the leaves. The wooden part of the desert carnofern has hardened to protect all the nutrients and sugars that are stored in it. Like its ancestors, it has a single flower on a stalk, which will open and release lots of airborne pollen. When mature, the flower will grow lots of small and sweet fruit, which are eaten and spread by local fauna.
