Lattice Colony (Disgustedorite)/Flora

Lattice's Flora, or plant life, blanket the entire planet in crystalline beauty. While comparable to Earth plants and fungi in physical appearance, Lattice's flora are biologically unique and are said to posses some amount of intelligence.

The total number of extant species is very low, even more so than the fauna, due to how localized life got on Lattice.

Definition
The following defines Lattice flora apart from plant life on other planets: A Lattice plant can always grow back when chopped down, as long as the seed core remains intact.
 * They have a seed at the core of their being, from which the rest of the plant grows
 * They have brain-like functions within the seed core, with varying levels of actual intelligence
 * They are able to detect touch and temperature on their stems or trunks, and they can feel pain
 * They have trunks or stems made of crystal matching the primary local rock color, which on Lattice is always black
 * They have leaves, petals, fruits, and/or other structures made of minerals matching the secondary mineral color which isn't visible in the soil itself, matching other nearby plants and animals
