Rust Coat Flora

The rust coat flora group is a group of purple flora that use iron based molecules as part of their structural support, giving them a reddish color. They are extinct, having been wiped out by the ice age disaster; they were reduced to a single species by the initial glaciation, while the snowball event was the final nail in the coffin.

Evolution
The first rust coat flora was called the rust weed, which evolved from the violetgrass.
