The '''Contorted Volleypom''' split from its ancestor in Martyk Temperate Woodland Archipelago, shrank considerably, and spread throughout the coastlines of Martyk Temperate Sea.
The majority of their populations hug the coastal edges of their given biomes, getting windswept and contorted as they grow. Though they are unable to survive on seawater they will grow, albeit stunted to only 3 meters, in the dunes behind the high tide mark of beaches and growing along tops of cliffs. Their large bases attach to broad root systems that work quite well at preventing erosion in their otherwise dynamically changing environment.
Both summer and winter leaves have become narrower to prevent
The clusters of microsporangia are smaller, individuals being about
A new feature to the megasporangium of the Contorted Volleypom that can be attributed to its success is the formation of an air pocket at its base as it matures. This pocket is a result of both water being moved from the surrounding tissue into the large megaspores, as well as increased
The bark of the Contorted Volleypom is a little smoother with much wider sheets that develop in comparison to its ancestor the [[Shaggy Volleypom]]. This change helps protect it from climbing herbivores that may otherwise find footholds along the surface. Dead twigs, killed from environmental stresses, can be common in their canopy. Most other characteristics are fairly similar to their ancestor.
