Species

The genus contains only two species:[4]

gollark: I propose that we all push in the opposite direction to tectonic plate motion.
gollark: Apparently. Or at least home breadmaking, because she did it first and is now... finding it harder to get ingredients.
gollark: Firing your pandemic response team a while before a pandemic is at least not as stupid as doing it during one.
gollark: I blame some sort of weird interaction between insurance companies, regulation/the government, consumers of healthcare services, and the companies involved in healthcare.
gollark: The US healthcare system is just really quite broken and there is probably not some individual there who's just going "MWAHAHAHA, my plan to increase the price of healthcare has succeeded, and I could easily make everything reasonable but I won't because I'm evil!", or one person who could decide to just make some stuff free right now without introducing some huge issues. It's a systemic issue.
