Etymology

The genus name, Daviesia, honours Hugh Davies (1739–1821), a Welsh botanist. The specific epithet, nudiflora is derived from the Latin: nudus (naked) and flos (flower),[6] creating a compound Latin adjective to describe this "naked-flowered" Daviesia.

gollark: no.
gollark: > NB: 'just run off the bottom of the screen and keep going' is not an official strategy, it only arises from a bug in the osmarks.tk implementation. The original Emu War code prevents trying to run off the edge of the screen, but osmarks forgot to update these when he updated the gamefield size, foolishly assuming that the variables for gamefield size actually controlled the other relevant bits.
gollark: No! That picture is being used out of context!
gollark: It even says so at the top of the page.
gollark: Hey, how come you added a strategy which is explicitly just a bug exploit?
