Island Anchorleaf (Isitshalo chomera)

Size: 12.8cm
Support: Cell Wall (Cellulose)
Diet: Photosynthesis
Respiration: Passive (Stomata)
Thermoregulation: Ectotherm
Reproduction: Sexual (Airborne spores), Fragmentation

Having no competition at all on land with other flora, the Island Anchorleaf split off from its ancestor. It increased in size due to island gigantism and no competition. Like its name suggests, the Island Anchorleaf anchors itself from its larval stage. The young have lost the faunal stage completely, with the muscles not being present. Losing the faunal stage, it has developed a thicker cell wall to help with its more floral life. The leaves grew to stay off the ground for reproduction. The Island Anchorleaf has developed adaptations to spread airborne spores which germinate into nearby ground depending on where the wind takes them. The Island Anchorleaf is quite similar to the Yokto Stemleaf, due to convergent evolution on islands.

The image seems really zoomed in and blurry at the bottom.

By the way, since I kind of didn’t expect you to use the design I suggested… could I make something kind of similar on mainland Wright?
Edit: nvm i came up with an alternate design for my plan

Image:

You need to show the whole organism. In the case of flora, you don’t need to show the roots, although many flora show the roots anyway. The picture is also blurry. While it’s possible to make some pictures blurry around the edges deliberatively to give focus or depth, this seems to be an artifact of an unsteady hand when photographing the picture. If you have access to a scanner, this will make a better picture. If not, some image processing after the fact might work.

Template:

12.8 cm is oddly specific. On smaller sizes, like millimeters, decimal values might matter, but it seems less relevant the bigger the organism. Since it’s not outright 1 meter or bigger, though, it could be just relevant enough to be accepted.

You’ll need to space out the template from the description.

Description:

The spacing is off in the description. You might have made the description in Notepad with word wrap on, so it doesn’t adapt to the sizing of the Sagan 4 text box. Using backspace at the start of each line to fit the text box better is one way to fix this.

“It has got”: “It has developed”.
“To help”: “grew, helping” is the easiest re-phrasing.
“Evolved to spread”: “has developed adaptations which allow it to spread”.
