Appearance

Canthium coromandelicum is a shrub, usually with opposite horizontal thorns a little above the leaf. Sometimes the shrub is nearly unarmed. Leaves are ovate, smooth, and often fascicled on young shoots. Short, few flowered racemes arise in leaf axils. Flowers are small and yellow with four stamens. Flowers are bearded in the throat. The tube is short, with four to five spreading petals. Anthers are inserted into the throat, scarcely protruding. The style protrudes out and the stigma is somewhat spherical. The fruits are obovate and furrowed on each side, with their color ranging from red to brown, with a dark pink being the prominent color when ripe. The flowering season of the plant is from July to August.

gollark: I mostly think of it as the second one. It's possible palaiologos is trying to move it toward the first, and I don't like this.
gollark: It's possible that this stems partly from differences in perception of what esolangs actually is; esoteric programming language discussion place which happens to have a somewhat weird community in it versus weird community which happens to exist in something nominally for esolang discussion.
gollark: Ah, sinthÖrion.
gollark: I figure people are mostly prompted by *something* instead of just bringing it up entirely at random, and a ControversialEsolangs server would lack many of those prompts if it's purely for that.
gollark: And controversial stuff has never arisen from discussing something else?
