Astilboides
Astilboides, a genus of the saxifrage family containing only one species, Astilboides tabularis, a herbaceous perennial once included in the genus Rodgersia. It comes from China and differs from its former relatives mainly in its leaf shape. It is grown for its huge bright green, circular leaves to 36 in (90 cm) across with the stem attached to the center, and large fluffy racemes of tiny white flowers produced in summer.

Cultivation
Grown best in moist soils in a cool sheltered spot. It is usually seen at its best near water. It bears very little resemblance to the genus Astilbe after which it was named. Propagate from seed or divisions when dormant.
gollark: You could maybe get away with, somehow, a hardware-based JS parser and interpreter in addition to your premade static compiler thing.
gollark: `eval`?
gollark: Okay, *how* is JS to be compiled to hardware without dropping features?
gollark: I mean, at some point you would just have to shove a JS interpreter on an actual CPU on board.
gollark: It's also practically impossible because JS is too dynamic (`eval`, `new Function`, `fn.toSource()`, the various `call`y methods, whatever is going on with empty slots in arrays, the ability to set properties on arrays too).
