Berula

Berula is a cosmopolitan genus of flowering plants in the family Apiaceae, whose species are known as water parsnips,[1] as are some other plants in Apiaceae such as Sium latifolium and Sium suave. It is easily confused with the highly toxic water hemlock (Conium maculatum).

Berula species are perennial, aquatic to semi-aquatic, herbaceous plants. The leaves are usually oppositely arranged. The flowerheads are arranged in umbels of small white flowers. Berula erecta is a widespread aquatic plant with fern-like leaves, found across Eurasia, Africa, North America, and elsewhere.[1][2]

gollark: <@!690636955108638740> I think it's enabled, why?
gollark: This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I have a bunch of websocket-based things which work fine in Chromium and wscat and whatever else, and appear to work if I run them locally too, but if I both have them behind my reverse proxy (caddy) and use them in Firefox it fails and just says `Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at wss://[the things]`.
gollark: It depends on some patents or something. There's licensing weirdness.
gollark: Maybe it doesn't like HEVC. Who knows.
gollark: Some videos do. I don't know Discord's rules for it. They are probably insane.
