Description
Camissonia strigulosa is an annual herb with a tough, slender, hairy stem which may grow erect or lie along the sand. It approaches 50 centimeters in maximum length and is lined with small, thin green to red linear leaves with tiny bumpy teeth along the edges.
The flower has four yellow petals a few millimeters long which may have red spots near the bases.
The fruit is a long, very thin podlike capsule containing tiny seeds.
gollark: There's no *inherent* goodness/badness of acts. You can't just crash trolleys together in a particle collider and observe moralons coming out of it or something to determine what's good and bad.
gollark: Well, yes, current moral standards are "better" in a bunch of dimensions we like, but those are only "better" in the first place because current moral standards say so.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: Oh, so you mean "our moral standards now are better according to our moral standards now".
gollark: How are you defining "exists" here? People 500 years ago had moral standards. Probably same going back to even the invention of agriculture.
