That's what we're looking for.

I've been told the seed will look like fly poo, but I don't know what fly poo looks like.

So Angelina shows me an example.

That is seed.

Oh that is so obvious.

Yeah.

The seeds are just like black sesame seeds.

Now that we know what we're supposed to be looking out for, we head off into the bush.

You might be wondering how this population of Xyuria caveniae is still here if it doesn't sexually reproduce.

Well, it does asexually reproduce via something called root suckering.

This is where shoots grow from the root of the plant.

But those shoots are clones.

They'll grow up to be identical to their parent.

So there's

little to no genetic diversity between them.

In fact, the population we're visiting now is a colony of clones, a group of genetically identical individuals.

This leaves the population incredibly vulnerable.

and

Yeah, is the cloning an adaptation to sterility?

We go off trail in search of the shrubs.
