The humm replaced its ancestor, the volcolilly. The cave subspecies eventually died out on their own due to the success of the caveberry. It is very much like its ancestor except its horizontal slits have grown thin stringy fibers within the slits. When the wind blows through them it creates different humming sounds. These sounds scare away herbivores that might eat them.
It gets extremely warm on the black volcanic dirt or sand and has heat resistance to protect it from the harmful rays of the sun. Also it gathers light efferently even in dim or ash covered skies. Its airborne spores are distributed at the top of the tall stalk via the wind. It grows well in the rich volcanic soil as well as the sandy beaches.
