Over the years, the spikedshell bubblehorns of Clayren Beach would feed the excrement of the other species, some of which fed on the berries of the plurgiles. Sometimes, these spikedshells would accidentally get still-living berry seeds on them. On even rarer occasions, these spikedshells would then travel down to the Ovi Beach below. On occasion, these were rubbed off into the beach sand; once in a grand while it happened above the shoreline, preventing the seeds from being washed out to sea.
Of these few seeds who existed in this area, a new species arose. These new plurgiles differentiated themselves from their still-living ancestors one beach away by growing even larger leaves, to maximize potential photosynthesis. The two top leaves are very large, and to keep them from being easily ripped apart, they are supported by a large amount of plant fibers.
They have shrunk in size somewhat due to their inability to properly deal with the rusted iron in the sand, but this inability does little more than stunt their potential growth, and they have begun to thrive properly, minus this little set back.
The leafy plurgile of Ovi Beach has not replaced the plurgile of Clayren Beach.
