Banshee's Tail

The banshee’s tail (Na'vi name: kxetsikran) is a flower-like flora adapted to the breezy conditions of the Veldt. The single stemless bloom is composed of thick, leathery petals that protect it from more turbulent elements, while a web of deep roots anchors the plant in place.
Long and flexible appendages grow from the center of the bloom, terminating in brush-like stamen that emit an abundance of spores into the breeze. These appendages strongly resemble the tail of the banshee, although whether this resemblance to the flying predator acts as a deterrent to other wildlife is unknown.
The plant’s spores are exceptionally light and feathery, allowing them to float for hundreds of miles in the right weather conditions.
Thriving in windy climates that aid spore dispersal; the banshee's tail often is found near natural windbreaks that channel the breeze into a single prevailing direction, such as rock formations and the petrified tree forest of the Western Frontier.
The spores of the banshee's tail can be collected and, when dried, used in food for its subtly floral flavor. The spores also have an effect on Na'vi metabolism and help digestion and the release of energy in both dried and raw form.
The plant stamen's similarity to the mighty Ikran's tail is long noted by the Na'vi. When the wind catches these appendages in the right manner and they flick like an Ikran changing course, it is customary to greet the plant and wish it safe travels.
