The arctic seaflower split from its ancestor the multitube and spread from the Russ River into the northern arctic belt of both the LadyM and Jujubee oceans. It has grown twice its ancestor’s size. It now floats upside down with its leaves facing the sun and air while its spore tubes faces the water. That way when it reproduces and releases the spores they get washed into different direction into different underwater current. It also spreads to new areas just by floating there. They still have five reproduction tubes like their ancestors. They are often swept into coasts there they strive as well. They cannot survive in hotter waters and therefore never spread further south.

Living Relatives (click to show/hide)

These are randomly selected, and organized from lowest to highest shared taxon. (This may correspond to similarity more than actual relation)

None found. Note that this does not necessarily mean it has no living relatives at all, but that, assuming all taxonomy is filled in, its entire phylum is extinct; any relatives it does have likely do not resemble it.
