Kistrick

Kistricks, members of the order Quisquiliavora, are specialised herbivorous exoplants which grow beside and along the surface of fresh water.

They extend across the water, sometimes reaching from one side of a stream or river to the opposite bank, catching flotsom in organs which close up periodically, releasing enymes and breaking down the captured material before twisting to face downstream, opening to release whatever remains and turning back to face upstream.

This is supplemented by photosynthesis, as most kistricks have photosynthetic stems and floating leaves.

Etymology
'Kistrick', and the unanglicised Nical word from which the name derives, comes from the Ponutugika 'kusturuc' (kuus-too-ruuk) meaning 'along the length or width of'.
