Description

These plants have erect stems which are unbranched or have few branches and grow 10 centimeters (4 inches) to well over 100 centimeters (40 inches) in height. The leaves are mostly opposite, but on the upper stem they may be alternately arranged. The cylindrical flower heads are just a few millimeters wide and are arranged in narrow or spikelike inflorescences. They contain 8 to 12 greenish or whitish disc florets. The fruit is a cypsela with a pappus of several plumelike bristles or scales.[4]

Carminatia tenuiflora is found in Guatemala, El Salvador, most of Mexico, southern Arizona, southwestern New Mexico, western Texas[5][6][7][8][9]

gollark: Should I just file an issue saying "horrible performance issues please help"? That seems mean.
gollark: Also, performance is identical (I tested on my test file, which doesn't use emphasis, which is the bit I ended up breaking).
gollark: So it compiles now, with the linked lists mostly gone, but it will not actually work due to mysterious fatal errors.
gollark: It has taken me an *embarrasingly* long time to realize this but this is actually just taking the section of a list between two tokens and moving them to something else.
gollark: Now to watch all the tests fail.
