"The Obverse - colloquially known as the 'neglect' - hosts flora and fauna with a peculiar genetic structure. Regardless of parentage, no two organisms are alike; an asexually reproducing creature can birth a beast that barely resembles itself.
[...] However, Reversed flora in particular tends to share a handful of characteristics. For one, the majority of Reversed flora develop vines, ranging in width and flexibility from hairlike to trunk-like.
[...] Moreover, while Reversed flora frequently make use of photosynthesis, these are usually combined with other methods to ensure survival, including carnivory, parasitism, and even a specialised gland that produces anaerobic microbes.
Reversed flora is also known for its production of the dust that drifts in the atmosphere of Obverse regions. [...] If left undisturbed, dust on the ground will develop a glassy outer layer, making protective footwear a necessity when traversing these regions."
