The marsh humm split from its ancestor and moved to Ovi Marsh and River. It has grown taller and it has longer slits than the hoh-humm. When the wind blows through the slits, this creates a sound that drives most herbivores away. The leaves still have a bitter taste to discourage herbivores from eating them. They also still have medicinal properties, which can heal indigestion, sore throat and acid reflux. Occasionally, creatures will eat the leaves to heal themselves, no matter what.
A young marsh humm focuses on growing upwards, so the part with the slits is still quite narrow. When the humm has reached its full height, it start growing broader and it keeps doing this until it dies. The changed shape and size of the slits means that its sound changes too. It starts at the pitch of a trumpet and goes down as the slits grow larger. If a marsh humm lives long enough, the pitch may become too low for most herbivores to hear. Suffice to say that this doesn't increase it's chances of further survival. The spores at the top of its stalk are distributed by the wind.
