Flora[]
The equatorial tree-vine jungles are nearly impenetrable. Tree-vines are single plants which cover up to several hundred square kilometres. Their slender stalks can grow up to 25 meters tall, and are connected by vine-like extensions. Tree-vine jungles abound with numerous species of animal, but few other plants, besides those living as parasites on the tree-vine itself. These jungles are extremely dense, and though they have been scanned with sensors, several have yet to be explored.
