What a fascinating, bizarre crystalflora. I like how it conveys the idea of an "alien cactus" without just being a cactus with a few weird parts.

I ought to work on my end of the swap soon.

"Crystalflora"???

You're right. These, despite being chitinous photosynthesizers that seemingly use green photosynthetic pigment, like many crystalflora (e.g., Grovecrystal descendants), have no relation to the Binucleus Crystal Shrub. That's surprising. The Solumcrusta, ancestor of the Chitjorn itself, descends directly from Protosagania.

It appears a general category name for Chitjorn descendants ("Jornflora") was only made in July 2020, judging by the editing history of a somewhat hard-to-find wiki page.
