Introduction
The following report describes the Tussock Propagito Green, a species of tussock that was discovered on body Chua Eork OE-C c2-0 A 2 d, in Region 24 of the Formorian Frontier. The information for this report was collected by our scout ship U.S.S. NIGHTINGALE. This report provides information on the conditions of occurrence, physical description of the species, and its genetic makeup.
Conditions of Occurrence
The Tussock Propagito Green is a species that can be found on bodies with thin atmospheres and a rocky surface. The maximum gravity for this species is 0.27. The species is one of five color variants and the green variety is found in systems of parent star type K.
Physical Description
The Tussock Propagito Green is a robust photosynthetic plant that appears similar to clump grasses. The plant has a shallow but complex root structure, which requires a solid surface to produce structural stability. The clumps of the species may form through tillering or wider dispersal through a variety of seeding mechanisms. The species has adapted cellular structures containing high sugar concentrations to protect against freezing damage.
The species sprouts tapering leaves, with tips covered with colorful seed pods. The color of the seed pods is determined by the parent star type, which for this green variety is star type K.
Genetic Makeup
The minimum distance between two genetic samples of the Tussock Propagito Green is only 200 m. This indicates that the species may have a high degree of genetic diversity over short distances. Further studies are necessary to determine the genetic makeup of the species and its potential for adaptation to changing environmental conditions.
Conclusion
The Tussock Propagito Green is a species of tussock that is found on rocky bodies with thin atmospheres, particularly in systems with parent star type K. The species has a shallow but complex root structure and adapted cellular structures to protect against freezing damage. A series of detailed studies will be necessary before our landing party is able to submit a full report.
