The puffgrass split from its ancestor, the puff reed. It has moved across the grasslands and scrublands of western Darwin. While there were many microflora and huge crystal flora there were not many grass type species reclaiming Darwin yet. Like the grasslands of old Darwin the puffgrass has returned these biomes to their previous state. Like their long linage, they use purple photosynthesis and grow much like Earth grasses. They produce puffy spores at the top of a tall stalk. These float in the wind and fertilize with the opposite sexes spores. Once fertilize and on the surface it will start to germinate. To maximize their chances of fertilization they will coordinate their release of spores in the spring.
