Hmpteprou Damptium	Tepoguin

The tepoflora genus group replaced its ancestors, the hmpteprou damptium, danru, feather teproutine, ferrumtine, cave ferrumtime, ferrumphage, spiked ferrumtine, limestone teproutine, nitroid, hitchhiker nitroid, subsurface nitroid, calciutine, shell rot, ferrotine, phosphoid, salsumtine, towerproutine, vandroutine, volucris teproutine and other teproutine decedents. With other genus groups like the nitrocycle and chemeba filling in the chemotroph niches most of the decedents of the teproutine died out. However the hmpteprou damptium who could photosynthesize helped save this group from extinction. Its brown branches are filled with brown chloroplasts that absorb sunlight much like the black flora. However they are not quite as efficient as the black flora.

They are mostly terrestrial and have a hard outer coating to keep them from drying out. They are quite hearty and can go for long periods of time without water. If covered by dirt or snow they can lay dormant until sunlight reaches them again. However some can survive on detritus and no need light at all. These subterranean species are rare compared to majority of the genus group. They reproduce via mitosis.
