The maverove is a common herbaceous weed widespread across northeastern Esgaia. While abundant, it is ecologically minor compared to keystone plants.

Etymology

Unknown.

Morphology

Maverove stems are thin, upright, and weakly branching, averaging 25–40 cm in height. Flowers occur in flat-plane arrangements, each cluster composed of dozens of tiny orange blossoms with five bulbous white anthers. Seed capsules are small and dry.

Physiology

Not specified.

Behavior

Life Cycle

The species is short-lived and opportunistic, completing its life cycle in under a year. It germinates quickly in autumn or spring, blooms within weeks, and sets seed by early summer.

Ecology

It thrives in disturbed soils, open plains, and along the bases of larger plants. Seeds disperse by wind. Its rapid growth makes it common in fallow fields or areas of frequent soil turnover.
