When some Sustonomum britala seeds got brought to the mouth of Zone 15 by wandering Maritimus chadensis, they would grow and the populations would adapt to living in more brackish water. Some of these polyphs' seeds were brought further upstream by Killislontus flumucaudus into the river system, they now had to adapt to living in freshwater. This would lead to a species that resembles their cousin Sustonomum flumitala from Zone 16.

Originated in Zone 15

To avoid over hydrating in an environment with lower salt content in the water, Sustonomum legumenfluvius have adapted by lowering their internal salinity. Aside from this one change, Sustonomum legumenfluvius has a lot of features in common with their ancestor and cousins. They grow at a steady pace of 0.5mm per day for every branch in the substrate, their growth being slower than their ancestors due to the lower salt concentration. Their seed pods still grow on the ends of the branches much like their ancestor and cousin, which then release seeds to get carried by the currents. Each arm may grow to be 305 centimeters in length, branching off a maximum of 4 times. These branches help the Taxonophyte grow denser in a certain area.
