Coronam articulata
Coronam articulata is a marine polyph living on the water's surface in the shallows of coastlines. It grows using rhizomes that spread out in all directions. Hanging roots will grow from the rhizome and serve as the main point of water and nutrient uptake. The roots and rhizomes will anchor the polpyh in whatever substrate it can reach. Clusters of leaves emerge at rhizome branches. The petiole of the leaf is cup shaped to hold water allowing other organisms to live in this microhabitat.
Old, large rhizomes will grow one red flower at a time. The red color and sweet scent are ancestral traits that were used to attract pollinators but C. articulata is mostly wind pollinated. When the flower is pollinated it will form a single seed that is dropped into the ocean and will grow a new polyph. C. articulata can also reproduce by fragmentation, if a rhizome is broken it will continue to grow and form a new individual.
