Description

The vegetative parts of this plant, which can reach 20–40 cm, arise from a segmented rhizome. The leaves are on long petioles, deeply and palmately dissected into five segments with large "teeth" on the margins. The white to pinkish flowers are held above the foliage in a spike. Fruit is an elongated pod which can be up to 4 cm long.[1]

gollark: It might be okay if the values are small. But CPUs dislike conditional branching.
gollark: I mean, linked lists are terrible, so probably any size up to vaguely ridiculous ones will be better.
gollark: You can statistics™ and obtain some approximate figures for each load factor, then work out how much you care about memory versus time.
gollark: I just vaguely knew about them until we had to "learn" about them in computer science, at which point I read the wikipedia page.
