Ancestor:Descendants:

The obsiditree has replaced it's ancestor. It has grown to be twice the size of its ancestor, and has spread out further among the Barlowe-Dixon Continent, where it now inhabits many boreal regions, and can even be found on the beach. Its large, palm-like leaves have become complex, defined as being pinnate with branching veins, in order to increase their CO2 output, and to absorb more water. As a result, heterotrophs will get much more food and nutrition from these leaves, and fallen leaves now litter the forest floor. Also, its roots can grow even deeper into the soil for nutrients. Like its ancestor, it grows relatively close to other trees, and cover the landscape with forest. It also releases cylindrical spores into the atmosphere like its ancestor, but do not literally turn the sky orange with their pollen, more rather making an orange haze just above the canopy. They grow rather quickly, and most obsiditrees live around 40 years before crashing into the forest floor.
