Being carried by the currents close to and at the surface of Suiwuld's nutrient oceans has exposed the altered Lenti seed to a new source of nutrition: sunlight.
Before long, almost forgotten mechanisms start back up, and the chlorophyll-adjacent pigments which gave the Lenti their green tint, and which they probably inherited from an ancient surface dwelling ancestor are once again producing energy for the plant through photosynthesis, greatly improving development in its early stages before it sinks back down. These modifications develop near simultaneously within many Lenti specimens, and before long, the faster growth allows them to outpace non-sunlight using specimens.
The pigments mostly fall into disuse when the Lenti seed sinks, expect in the rare cases where it does so in shallow water. Still, such a marked advantage mean this variant is now the most widespread, a fact helped that virtually all Lenti contain vestigial pigments, meaning that any Lenti which develops the "air sack" seed modification will sooner or later develop this one.
