Ancestor:Descendants:

When violetgrass colonized the alpine regions, it needed to become hardier. It adapted to grow in smaller, more closely packed tufts, usually between and around rocks. Its berry became a small, hard nut which herbivores, such as the azelak, will usually swallow whole. This seed is then deposited elsewhere when the animal excretes it.
