Descended from Phallucaulis semaprogandos, this cocktus specializes in growing closer together than far dispersal as a growth method. This increases their growth capacity, helping them survive as a species. This also means that some of them are less likely to have their seeds drained by Acutognathus fellio than their ancestor, allowing more seeds to be released in the first place.

Phallucaulis flacoherbas is slightly skinnier than its ancestor to accommodate a higher density in population. The hole that releases seeds in this species is more slanted than that of Phallucaulis semaprogandos, allowing a higher dispersal range for seeds so that they are not all together. With the holes not centered upwards, seeds are typically flown anywhere from fifteen centimeters to thirty centimeters (15-30 cm) away from the parent polyph. The slant on the top makes Phallucaulis flacoherbas thirty centimeters (30 cm) tall when fully grown and also exposes the eight centimeter (8 cm) hole, making it appear larger than in its ancestor. Roots can spread out to fifteen centimeters (15 cm), and if any hit eachother, they will simply grow around eachother.

Like in its ancestor, Phallucaulis flacoherbas matures in about six (6) weeks of growth. The hole develops after maturity and it will release seeds from its stem every three to four (3-4) weeks, enveloped in their viscous fluid to provide additional nutrition to seeds and protection from environmental factors. Seeds come in the thousands and are typically half a millimeter (0.5 mm) in diameter.
