Evolved from P. thamnos, some seeds carried by the wind land on the side of plateaus, some of those seeds survived on the cliffs and start to reproduce and slowly adapted to living on cliffs. They developed longer roots to hold themselves on the side of the plateaus and grew long exposed roots to absorb any water exposed on the side of the cliff. Its seed also developed tiny hook like trichomes to hook on the side of a cliff.

Found in the cliff side of plateaus in zone G, they only get 1 feet wide(Growth distance away from cliff) while being 2 feet tall(the length of attachment on the cliff). They hang on the cliffs of plateaus with their long roots able to burry in the cliffs to cling on it. Its exposed roots help catch and absorb any minerals or dust travel by sandstorms or dust storms and it also absorbs water on dripping on the side of plateaus when it rains. Its trunk is usually only half a foot wide with leaves grow up to 1 foot long in small clusters in the end of each branch.

Like its ancestor, it stores most of its water in its trunk. It reproduces asexually where it produces small black seeds that dispersed by the wind and when the seed is able to land on the side of a cliff hooking itself it would start to germinate roots to anchor itself.If the seeds don't land in the side of a plateau they will grow normally with abnormally long roots exposed.
