Ancestor:Descendants:

The lummoss split from its ancestor, the luminuseven in Irinya River and Irinya Bog, then spread to Darwin Tundra. Now that the river became colder it had to adapt to the colder environment. Its cell wall keeps it insulated from the cold. Its shell keeps in enough water that it can survive on land as well. However only when in the muddy thawing soil of soil in the tundra. Each of its "leaves" have more concentrated photosynthetic cells. Its flagellum have evolved into roots which help absorb nutrients from the soil as well as anchor it in place. Before winter it will asexually produce spores that can survive the winter. However the parents are not so lucky and die soon after producing spores.
