Drucerus senmaggi
This new polyph in zone I has developed to lose its ties to coastal regions, no longer relying on the humid coastal air to survive. To do this, the leaves have developed a tough, waxy coating that makes them lose water at a miniscule rate, allowing them to store their water for much longer periods of time. This new waxy coating is quite dense and has a distinct waxy taste. The new density causes the individual growths of the polyph to have structural issues, with each strand arching and dipping back to the ground after reaching longer than 20cm due to weight. Once a strand reaches the ground, it will begin to grow back upwards. This upwards growth is assisted by the winds blowing loose sand over the grounded segments. This causes them to become partially covered in sand most of the time, and thus the leaves on these covered segments will usually die off, leaving these segments bare. This helps the polyph grow upwards further after the initial arch, as the sand provides extra support. Each arm will only grow to be 45cm long. They reproduce with seeds that are stored underneath the leaves at the ends of each arm. These seeds only grow in the rainy season, and only on the arms that are fully grown. They begin growth underground, quickly sprouting up a few arms while developing a deep root system. The polyph will focus most of its energy into growing out one or two arms at first, slowly growing more as the polyph gets older and larger. One plant can grow a maximum of a dozen arms, which may take up to 2 years to grow all 12 to full length.
