Ancestor:Descendants:

The tall sunstalk replaced their ancestor in the Darwin Temperate Woodland and the Darwin Temperate Rainforest. They are basically the same as their ancestor, except they are now twice as big. They grew taller to gain more sunlight and to make it easier to spread their spores which are still spread by the wind and are still kept inside a chamber placed on top of its stalk. The spores can form thick orange clouds able to choke small animals like its ancestor before it, only, the tall sunstalk is even more massive and they produce more spores that can choke bigger animals. Like their ancestor, they can also follow the sun in order to absorb light on the surface of its leaves and photosynthesizing parts. It does this by opening one side of the chamber towards the sun in before it reaches the middle of the sky.
