Ancestor:Descendants:

The aloeberabub split from its ancestor, spreading out to the colder regions of Vivus. It has shrunken in size to conserve resources. During the warmer months its "petals" spread wide to gather sunlight; during the colder months it closes up and produces a waxy secretion which seals its petals together. During the winter it also produces bitter-tasting buds, which fall off with the coming of spring. Other than these changes, it is the same as its ancestor.
