The flaska reclinata is one of the most important plants on Pandora. It plays an important role on the moon by helping to detoxify the atmosphere. Toxic gases (mostly volcanic in origin) are absorbed into the plant body where they dissolve into a pool of watery liquid that accumulates inside. This primeval “soup” periodically builds up pressure and temperature and is squirted in non-toxic, purified plume from the top of the plant.
