Capraria

Capraria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Scrophulariaceae.[2] It is sometimes placed in the families Gratiolaceae, Plantaginaceae, or Veronicaceae.[1] The name is derived from the Latin word caprarius, meaning "pertaining to goats." This refers to goats being one of the few herbivores that will graze on the plants.[3]

For the Italian island known in ancient times as Capraria, see Capraia.

gollark: Firecubez isn't very good *either* so I should be fine possibly.
gollark: Now that cyber has mentioned this, though, I *will* turn my highly limited reverse engineering skills toward haxxing their thing.
gollark: However, if I had just never mentioned it, potatOS's lack of (at that time) version control means nobody would actually notice until someone checked for whatever reason, and it would not have been reverse-engineered very fast.
gollark: When I said this, people immediately began to decompile and reverse engineer it.
gollark: For a few versions potatOS contained a DRMish blob hooked to incident reports, for example.
