Plortatus forensus was getting its seeds eaten at an ever-increasing rate as helix and circulix populations continued to grow. Although it was already "dropping seeds all over the place," its ability to reproduce effectively was reduced, and it had to allocate more energy to producing seeds.

Plortatus ipsumsemenous no longer has a trunk, and grows close to the ground. Its energy is devoted to spreading its seed-coated vines as far as possible, allowing it to reproduce much more quickly than its predecessor. Its leaves are turned more upright to collect sunlight more effectively for this purpose.

Young ipsumsemenous are able to produce seeds almost immediately, reaching maturity in about a week. As it lives in a tropical environment, it is able to produce seeds year-round. It does not grow very tall (approximately 3-4 feet), opting to produce more leaves and vines rather than increasing its height.
