Cordesia provannoides is the only species in the genus Cordesia.[1]

Description

Distribution

This species was originally described from specimens collected at the cold seeps along the Florida Escarpment in the Gulf of Mexico. It also occurs at methane seeps in deep water off the Congo River.[1]

Larvae of the Cordesia provannoides, or a very similar species, has been collected 0–100 m below the surface in the tropical East Atlantic overlying a total water depth of 4570 m.[3]

gollark: The advantage of market systems and other decentralized stuff is that they can allocate resources reasonably well without having centralization, which has issues like computing power and not really being able to consider people's individual wants well.
gollark: Also, I don't think current "AI"-y systems actually could manage countries well.
gollark: If you can think of a political opinion, some people probably agree with it.
gollark: You don't need to actually have *humans* do that sort of thing, we have the technology!
gollark: Just use a deepfake of Donald Trump for all public sessions.
