Ancestor:Descendants:

The Ironflower is the direct progression of its ancestor. It has replaced most of the Ironcrop in the inland of Ovi Island. It has grown to be 150% the size of its ancestor. Due to its successful method of acquiring iron, large fields of it can be found where iron is abundant. They are very similar to their ancestor. The only difference is the bulb on the top has grow larger and tougher to help protect the Ironflower from Uktanks.
