Antennaria media is a perennial herb forming a matted patch of stolons and woolly basal leaves with inflorescences no more than about 13 centimeters tall. The inflorescences contain several flower heads. The species is dioecious, with male and female flowers on different plants. The fruit is an achene up to about 6 millimeters long, most of which is the long, soft pappus.[2][5]

Subspecies

There are several subspecies; one subspecies is diploid and reproduces sexually and the others are polyploid and display apomixis.[6]

gollark: Thus, THOUGHTS WANTED.
gollark: I had another idea, which was to not have virtual channels and just have virtual point-to-point links then use magic™ to find connected subgraphs of things, but this would also be complex.
gollark: Is it to just maintain a list of "bridging" links and do inter-virtual-channel routing on those? This would be a bit flaky and complex I think.
gollark: Is the system to just merge the virtual channels? This would be problematic to unmerge later.
gollark: But then I realized that this had a significant problem; what happens if virtual channels A and B both connect to Discord channel 124091724?
