Ancestor:Descendants:

The Baebula split from its ancestor. Its anatomy has dramatically diverged from its ancestor. Its bubble-leaves cluster together on the tips of each branch, holding up each tethering branch. This meant that the flora could spend less time building study support structures, and more time growing numerous long bubble-branches; in this way it has doubled in size. However, it is more fragile than its ancestor, and so could not replace it. It has spread to all terrestrial biomes on the island.
