Well, fine, if you *really* want me to write a justification. ^,^ It'd make sense if this plant was following a destructive path simply because it was in the wrong context, the wrong biosphere; say, if it was adapted to an alien planet, or perhaps if it had been transported from the Earth of another era. Alternatively, it could be a terraforming weapon - possibly also by aliens who prefer a world with less oxygen, or possibly by, say, an ancient civilization that perished in the Great Oxygenation Event of 2.3 billon years BC.
