Ancestor:Descendants:

The harp-hum has replaced the Raq Coast and Arctic Polar Sea populations of lurehum. Over time, the individuals who made the loudest signal to the nectascooters were more successful and eventually became the harp-hum. This plant uses very precise signals to lure the nectascooters to them with larger leaves and longer stings. The nectar tube remains the same. The root system has also developed to support the plant more and are much larger, enabling the harp-hum to out compete rivals for resources.

Due to the success of this flora, one population has spread into the salt marsh to the north and further into the river beyond. This subspecies is able to tolerate both salt and fresh water. The spread of this flora has also resulted in the spread of the nectascooters which have followed the flora northwards, following the strong signals given off by adult harp-hums.
