Ancestor:Descendants:

The jujubee lilydisk split from its ancestor and moved into the open ocean. It is slightly larger then its ancestor and can be found floating on top of the water in large numbers. It still has the porous red spots of its ancestor but now they are only on the underside, optimizing photosynthesis. They are so thin that the water can be filtered through the pores and spread throughout the plant effortlessly.

Jujubee lilydisks have adapted a unique way of reproduction. Special seed pouches sag from the underside of the flora filled with light gasses to help keep the flora afloat. When there are too many seeds in the pouches for the flora to keep afloat, they burst open releasing hundreds of seeds into the water. The seeds are 1 cm across and round like their distant ancestors. After being part of the phytoplankton for a couple months, they mature and float to the surface of the water.
