  • $\begingroup$ "slightly colder"? You are aware the temperature differences would be bigger than on Earth, so that if your hot side is below boiling [of water], the cold side would be below freezing? So even if you had "continents" and "isles" on the cold side, the point would be moot because everything would be connected by kilometer thick ice sheets? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I would perhaps edit this Q to define what you mean by plant life - perhaps any multicellular non-motile organism lacking a nervous system would suffice. Mushrooms (fungi) are phylogenically closer to animals than plants, but would likely fit the kind of "flora" that you are seeking. $\endgroup$
