Disanthus

Disanthus is a genus containing two species of flowering plants in the family Hamamelidaceae. The type species, Disanthus cercidifolius, was the only known species until 2017, when a second species, Disanthus ovatifolius was described.[1]

Species

Disanthus cercidifolius is native to woodland habitats in China and Japan[2] while D. ovatifolius is found in northern Vietnam[1]

Nomenclature

The type species epithet was originally spelled D. cercidifolia.[3] The International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants stipulates that the Latin grammatical gender is masculine, and so the spelling is D. cercidifolius.[4] Disanthus ovatifolius was first introduced to horticulture in Europe under the invalid name Uocodendron whartonii, honoring the late Peter Wharton, formerly curator of the David C. Lam Asian Garden at UBC Botanical Garden in Vancouver. After scientific study, the new species was assigned to Disanthus.[1]

gollark: I mean, maybe supercomputing facilities will also have test ones and/or some used as accelerators for specific tasks, but it won't be massively commonplace.
gollark: Quantum computing will improve, but mostly still be stuck as a very expensive shiny toy in 2030, though perhaps with some utility in doing specific calculations in research.
gollark: That "less vague" one was for the next decade, by the way.
gollark: Less vaguely, laptops/desktops or other discrete computer-type things will begin to (continue to, actually?) decline as people begin using phones with better dockable IO.
gollark: More vague predictions: computers will generally get faster, but also half the computing power will end up wasted on increasingly flashy animations, poorly programmed applications, and other random nonsense like that.
