The '''Quaking Volleypom''' split from its ancestor, the [[Contorted Volleypom]] to spread more inland. It can be found forming fast-growing dense stands in [[
The megasporangia have had some significant changes. They now only carry a small number of megaspores, 1-10 each, with said megaspores being dwarfed by their ancestors being a mere 3-5 millimeters across. The hollow toward the rear of the megasporangium is now a collapsed plate, or scale, and triangler in shape. This structure captures wind, breaking away from the tree when mature and spinning about as it catches air. This mobility can cast the carrying structure over a kilometer from the mother tree on a windy day, though more often they fall much closer. These scales are grown in repeating radial clumps stacked beneath on another along a twig, with layers numbering up to 15. As they mature the rattling action as they knock against one another in the wind aids in their release and dispersal. Microsporangia are fairly similar in appearance, function, and growth habit to their ancestors. The only difference is that they are more elongate and their small clusters grow in a curved form.
