Description

Cneoridium dumosum is an evergreen shrub native to the coastal bluffs of southern California and Baja California.[1] This highly branched shrub may exceed a meter in height and sprawl about as wide. Its twigs are covered in small linear green leaves and flowers in clusters of one to three. Each flower is just over a centimeter wide with four or five rounded white petals and eight yellow-anthered white stamens.

The bunching fruits are round reddish-green berries about half a centimeter wide covered in a thin peel which is gland-pitted like that of a common citrus fruit. Each berry contains one or two spherical seeds.

gollark: Like, say, generics, recovering from panics, sort of thing.
gollark: Also stuff which the language implementors/standard library people can do, but which you can't.
gollark: Go isn't nicely designed. It's filled with weird inconsistency in the name of being "simple".
gollark: I mostly just use Typescript, though, as heretical as it may be.
gollark: ... Rust?
