This descendant of Aruraherba caesicoles is adapting to grow in moist climates rather than in "land" environments. Aruraherba wetrilli outcompetes its ancestor in wet areas such as swamps and rivers, but is in turn outcompeted in areas far away from sources of water.

Aruraherba wetrilli grows up to eighty centimeters (80 cm) in height to avoid being submerged in water during floods. It typically grows around the shores of freshwater areas such as rivers, ponds, lakes, and swamp areas, but does not work as efficiently at photosynthesis if fully submerged due to the lower amounts of light. It is also wider so that water is more evenly spread throughout the stem and not all compact in one area, as it has not yet developed a way of resisting water income. The roots also grow to eighty centimeters (80 cm) like the stem as the nutrients are less dense where it grows.

Aruraherba wetrilli grows slowly due to the lack of nutrients, reaching its full height in thirteen (13) weeks. Like its ancestor, it reproduces by growing seed pods and by spreading runners which grow new polyphs. They can connect their root structures to other polyphs of their species to share nutrients which help them survive.
