Description
Fringed spider flower is an erect, branched, annual herb, growing up to 15–100 cm tall. The plant has angular stems and trifoliolate leaves on stalk. Each leaflet is somewhat diamond-shaped. The flowers are very small (about 15 mm across) with upward pointing purple petals and protruding stamens and pistil. Pollens are elongated, approximately 29 microns in size.
Fruit is long and capsular
Pollens of Cleome rutidosperma
gollark: It's fine, we're probably overthinking this a lot...
gollark: I expect quantum stuff would probably just be special-purpose hardware running specific tasks while coordinated by classical computers.
gollark: There is Shor's algorithm, which lets you factor primes much faster or something.
gollark: Come to think of it, we could probably put a lot of computing hardware into the solar power stuff, which presumably has a lot of power and some cooling.
gollark: The main constraints for high-performance computer stuff *now* are heat and power, or I guess sometimes networking between nodes.
