To increase photosynthetic efficiency, populations of Primophytorus ovalus developed lobes upon their individual leaf, causing speciation.

20 millimeters wide, 20 millimeters tall

The Branching Yksinolyph (Primophytorus ramosafolium) has a buoyant leaf, which helps it remain upright and thus not get buried in sediment. While the entire organism has large roots to keep them anchored in the sediment and not float away. The species only has a single leaf for photosynthesis, but the branching structure of its leaf means it has a larger surface area for photosynthesis. As such, the Branching Yksinolyph has become much bigger than its direct ancestor. The root system of this species can also help take nutrients from the soil to help aid it with growth. The Branching Yksinolyph also still reproduces by budding, with the resulting bud looking somewhat like their ancestor before the leaf begins to branch out in random and irregular patterns as it grows in size. The species is light green in coloration.
