Ancestor:Descendants:

The scrubland tubeplage split from its ancestor the tubeplage. It has regained the waxy coating to help it adapt to more arid climates. Due to a random mutation it grows a fruit on the end of its leaves like its distant ancestors, the trunkplage. The orange tips and bright yellow fruit help attract frugivores to at their fruits and thus spread their seeds to new locations. Each of leaf tips are covered in a sticky bright orange sap which is filled with male reproductive cells. When herbivores eat their leaves or pass by they will rub against other tubeplages and open tiny pores on its leaf tips for its flowers to be pollinated. However some xenobees also have specialized to pollinate them too. Every year it will grow a new segment. Their circular trunks are porous, yet structurally strong, so it provides circulation of nutrients and support. They can live up to 60 years.
