Prothanos phyllosymplegmus
A descendant of Subplortatus desertensis residing in zone E which has a dome of thin but tough leaves at the end of each branch. Each leaf can grow up to a foot in length. Clusters of these leaves also form randomly along the lengths of the branches and even the trunk where they can catch sunlight that has filtered through the main dome, and their shape and toughness allows them to lose less water. Unlike its ancestor, leaves do not grow from other leaves, as the trunk and branches are far more capable of supporting such a growth pattern; further, it does not have a limit to how many leaves it can grow. The trunk is woody with tough dry bark and contains as much water as it can absorb with its roots, strongly preferring this over its ancestor's questionable choice of storing water in the soil. It generally reaches around 6 feet tall when mature but has been known to grow as tall as 10 feet in favorable conditions, and the trunk is usually 2-3 feet wide at maturity. It reproduces asexually and disperses its small black seeds by wind during the dry season, and then the seeds sprout the next time it rains.
