The species is named after the continent where the material was collected, Africa.[2]

gollark: It's like potatOS `loading`.
gollark: Every 500 XP you get, the XP bar goes half the remaining distance to the end, but it never gets there.
gollark: Have an XP counter, but just have, say, an 0.1% chance of going up a level every second.
gollark: Actually, just do it entirely randomly.
gollark: If you're just trying to make it even more annoying and complex, why not use... `sin(tan(x))` or something ridiculous like that?
