Agdestis

Agdestis is a genus of flowering plants containing a single species Agdestis clematidia, a vine native to Florida, Texas, Mexico, and Central America.[1][2] Its common name rockroot refers to the large boulder-like root.[1]

Taxonomy

Agdestis is usually placed in the Phytolaccaceae family.[3] Its classification is uncertain, however, as several studies of molecular phylogenetics have found it to be possibly the sister taxon of Sarcobatus, also of uncertain classification and often placed in its own family, Sarcobataceae.[4]

gollark: I mean, that would be cooler but involve a lot of duplicated effort and complexity.
gollark: Oh, and a CC program to connect to that and run commands like "update" and "full restart" and "configure networking".
gollark: If I were to ever get round to implementing this, it would use Alpine or something similar, and just ship with CraftOS-PC automatically started on boot, as well as a websocket-accessible daemon to let it run commands on the real device.
gollark: Very "useful".
gollark: It would be "useful" if it used Linux or something and could thus do networking, control keys and stuff.
