Ancestor:Descendants:

The lacy-leaf obsiditree replaced its ancestor in the Dixon Boreal and spread out to the alpine areas. Other than being half the size of its ancestor, it only went through one other significant change. That significant change was that its leaves have become proto-branches with sheer quantities of smaller leaves on them. When these leaves fall off, they fall off in large amounts, which provides more nutrients to the soil along with bedding for other organisms. This makes the lacy-leaf obsiditree a keystone species.
