Tubeplage

The tubeplage split from it's ancestor, migrating to the forests and chaparral of eastern Darwin, going as far as the Darwin Tropical Rainforest. It has doubled in size, and has removed it's waxy coating due to a now-warmer climate. The segments forming the trunk have thickened to the point that only a small hole remains in the center, in order to allow the tubeplage to get taller. It's method of reproduction has also undergone some changes, and now works practically the same as it's distant ancestor the trunkplage. It now can live up to 60 years. Otherwise, it's the same as it's ancestor.
