The nimmoss is a form of nimbus that has split off from its ancestor. It specializes in parasitizing off of the cloudgrump.

Free-floating nimmoss look like nimbus clouds, but when they encounter a cloudgrump, the microscopic hooks at the ends of their fronds latch onto the surface like velcro. As more nimmoss appear, they latch onto each other like a barrel of monkeys.

There it absorbs water that condenses on the surface, and drifts along with the cloudgrump, absorbing moisture from clouds.

The nimmoss is heavy enough to slightly deform the cloudgrump and cause it to lose a small portion of its altitude. Other than this, they are like their ancestor.

(The current limit of 6 does not apply to flora and non-fauna)

Where does it say the limit does not apply to flora and non-fauna? The New Active Submission Limit topic does not mention that. Even if that were a rule, the very fact you have 26 unapproved submissions (if I counted correctly), which is far more than 6, does make this seem like it's breaking the spirit of the rules. For now, it makes more sense to focus on pre-existing submissions, such as the Sirrush.

Given you have 26 submissions-in-progress, though, it does seem fairer to other members and the limited number of reviewers to focus on pre-existing submissions now. If you want to speed up processing, try giving feedback for other users' submissions, using the Approval Checklist as a guide.

Actually, in the discussion thread itself, it was decided that flora are not uncapped, but rather have a separate cap. You are above the flora cap too. This will be graveyarded until you are below the flora cap.

This was apparently amended. However, Hethr, I still believe that you should stop making new submissions until you have fewer on your plate. They nearly always need a lot of work before approval, so they should take priority over adding even more work on top of them.

This should be good enough to review too
