Bienertia

Bienertia is a flowering plant genus that currently is classified in the family Amaranthaceae s.l. (including the family Chenopodiaceae). For long time, the genus was considered to consist only of one species, Bienertia cycloptera, but in 2005 and 2012, two new species have been separated.

Species of this genus have acquired an unusual, single-cell type of C4 carbon fixation without Kranz anatomy, also found in some species of the closely related genus Suaeda.[1][2]

Species

gollark: You'd have to keep decreasing it for every repost though.
gollark: I didn't. Depending on how it gets split into blocks or something it might work.
gollark: Based on something or other it runs on perceptual hashes which use a discrete cosine transform thingy, so it might be easiest to DCT the image data, fiddle with the parameters a bit, and convert it back.
gollark: I should really work on trying to evade meme repost detection again. I think I determined that rotation past about 15 degrees got around it but was very obvious, and adding small amounts of noise didn't.
