Spirina Plant

Spirina is a very common plant that can be found all across Esrei. It is key for survival of other flora because of its function as an irrigator and filtrator of underground water (which contains microscopic traces of marble that can cause *disease*).

Appearance
It is a green stalk (diameter around 8 centimeters) covered with fuzz and little jets bent 45 degrees upwards. The top is cluster of spherical water containers that are covered with toxic microscopic thornes.

Function
Spirina irrigates other plants by drawing water from underground streams, filtering it until it becomes a pinkish, sweet smelling fluid, and then spraying it 360 degrees in a radius of around 15 meters. The jets spray it like myst, which leaves a sweet smell around, that can be carried around by wind.

Smaller settlements that don't have sewers or other underground construction, plant it nearby buildings in order to achieve a nice environment.

Reproduction
The plant sprays seed along with the myst, but since it cannot reproduce by simply having the seed on the ground (it won't deflower), through evolution it acquired the sweet smell to draw fauna that would step on the seeds on the ground (thus sowing it).

Natural Enemies
One of the plant's natural enemies are Bipwoes who usually hook to its jets. Although they're short-term parasites, they cause structural damage to the stalk while climbing up to reach the jets, which may cause slight oozing and worse filtration of the fluids. However, the damage is outweighed by the bugs'tendency to form in a thorny cluster around the plant, protecting it from other enemies.
