Fun Fact

No, this is definitely a seed bearing plant. A Fruit and Flower Bearing Wood-y plant possibly mid transition into a herbaceous Fruit and Flower Bearing Grass-like plant. Most people don’t think of grass having flowers, but the grains that grow on top when they are not trimmed count as a fruit/flower.

Hm. Now I wonder how would plant evolution go like in-game. I suppose we’d want to model it after what happened in real life, correct?

With the Skin Attribute system, I guess Wood-y would be an attribute that could be changed later. Or perhaps, there could be a Herbaceous Skin and a separate Wood-y Skin and both could have an option to become the other. In the later case, I think the original would be herbaceous.

To my knowledge, Achaea don’t have a taxonomic equivalent of “Tribe” used in their classification scheme; it is just the classic Dapper Kings Play Chess On Fine Grain Sand.

I wonder how would this be handled if Eukaryotes were to be classified in the same domain as Archeae…

Maybe Archaea will be get assigned Tribe taxonomic rank classifications to better homogenize with Eukaryotes…

Or maybe the two groups will remain separate…

Makes sense.
