Despite rising sea levels and sinking islands, a population of [[Boomsticks]] just narrowly avoided extinction and managed to continue their evolution. '''Bangsticks''' replaced their ancestor and developed sexual reproduction. They are hermaphrodites and have distinct male and female stems. The male stems fire spores into the air, and they eventually land in and fertilize a female stem which soon fires its seeds. Its seeds are contained in a larger casing which explodes in midair, sending seed
Derived from a desert species and relying on wind distribution, the Bangsticks are not suited to survive in especially moist habitats with a lot of tree cover. As a result, they are most commonly found in beach, desert, and steppe environments. Their seeds can and do land and grow in other habitats, as is to be expected from aeroplankton with no control over where the wind takes them, but those rarely reach adulthood due to overwatering or competition with larger flora. In cases where they might land in a montane environment, they might be able to successfully grow to full size, but they are unable to reproduce if the environment around them prevents them from heating up their combustion chambers.
Like other seed-shooting cryoflora, the Bangsticks make use of combustion of hydrogen and oxygen produced by its endosymbiotic [[cryoutines]] to fire seeds and spores into the air. When it comes time to fire its seeds or spores, flesh covering a chitin lens dies to expose it, causing light to be focused hard enough to create a spark. The explosion of the seed-filled
In order to thrive in warm sunny environments, the Bangsticks have made the rather unprecedented adaptation to lose all of the lens-like structures of most of the cells of its chitinous exterior. This was
