The trunkplage split from its ancestor. It has developed a woody ring in the center of each of its leaf-rings, forming a primitive "trunk". The wood is porous, yet structurally strong, so it provides circulation of nutrients and support; because of this it has doubled in size. Its method of reproduction has also changed. The trunkplage produces a bright orange fruit on the back of each of its leaves. Each of these fruits is covered in a sticky bright red sap which is filled with male reproductive cells. When a herbivore eats the fruit they get their mouths covered in this sap. When they go to another trunkplage to feed, some of the sap rubs off onto the leaves of the plant, and the sap is collected by the tiny flowers on the front of the leaf. After the plant has been "pollinated", it produces a new set of fruits, which have many little seeds inside them. They pass through the digestive system of the herbivore and grow where they are excreted out. The trunkplage is so successful it has spread to the Krakow Marsh and the Flisch-Krakow Rainforest, since there was no large flora to compete with it.
