Description
A description of the plant is given in Govaerts et al.[4]
Habitat/ecology
A. keilii is found at forest edges and wooded grassland on Ficus, Bridelia, and Combretum, at altitudes of between 1,000 and 1,450 m. Seed is dispersed long distance by means of birds.[1]
Threats
The places in which A. keilii has been found are all unprotected.[1] Its habitat is declining due to conversion of forest edges and grassland for agriculture, and harvesting for firewood.[1]
gollark: Thusly, modern runtimes or high performance applications will do stuff asynchronously, where they just wait for arbitrary amounts of events at once in a small threadpool.
gollark: However, this is inefficient. If you want to serve 12904172408718240 concurrent connections, you don't want to have one thread for each, especially if each one isn't used that much.
gollark: You simply do a thing, and wait for it to finish, in your thread.
gollark: That is the normal uncool kind of IO.
gollark: So, synchronous IO.
