Symmonds Tree (Caligoarbor subtilis symmondsi), a thick-stemmed “bush” which grows to perhaps eight meters in height. Native to Medurma (Dagudashaag 2124).
Physiology & Ecology
Strangely, many aspects of the Symmonds Tree's biochemistry still defy analysis, and it has yet to be placed satisfactorily in the Medurman evolutionary scheme.
Life Cycle & Reproduction
No information yet available.
Diet & Trophics
The plant appears to be chemosynthetic, and is a symbiont with an underground network of hyphae or nutrient-carrying tubes, which can extend for many kilometers.
History & Background (Dossier)
The Symmonds Tree is used as a food source as well as providing several unique pharmaceuticals, some of which are key ingredients in the manufacture of Anagathics.
Pharmaceutical Company Interest
The following companies have established a presence on Medurma (Dagudashaag 2124) and are actively harvesting, researching, and manufacturing pharmaceuticals based on the Symmonds Tree:
- Symmonds Xenoculture - founded in 318, it is perhaps the oldest company interested in the Symmonds Tree.
- DeepLevel Harvesting - formed in 862 to break Symmonds Xenoculture Inc’s monopoly on the Symmonds Tree harvesting.
- Nei'Tan Corporation - a biomedical co-operative run by the Snow Leopard tribe of Alikasch on Medurma (Dagudashaag 2124).
- Pharmacologique Fabrique - has taken a recent interest in the Symmonds Tree and its potential.
- SuSAG - the Imperial megacorporation specializing in pharmaceuticals has also taken a recent interest in the Symmonds Tree and its potential.
