The chum twine split from its ancestor, the shanding slars and migrated to Chum Salt Flats. The chum twine is a therophyte, meaning that only the spores of the plant survive each season. They have evolved a root system wich separates it from most other flora, it is not subterranean. The roots twist and twine into the cracks in the earth, sucking up what little water is stored there for a short period after each rain. The entire body of the chum twine is succulent which makes the plant good at storing water. The leaves on its ancestors body has grown larger to give it more energy as it needs energy quickly in its short life span. The stalk of its ancestor has all but devolved completely, and is barely visible under the large leaves. They reproduce asexually via spores spread by the wind.
