Drimys

Drimys is a genus of about eight species of woody evergreen flowering plants, in the family Winteraceae. The species are native to the Neotropics, ranging from southern Mexico to the southern tip of South America. They are primitive dicots, associated with the humid temperate Antarctic flora of the Southern Hemisphere, which evolved millions of years ago on the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana. Members of the family generally have aromatic bark and leaves, and some are used to extract essential oils.

D. confertifolia is endemic to the Juan Fernández Islands, 670 km off the Chilean coast, where it forms a dominant tree in the tall lowland forests and lower montane forests of the islands.

The genus formerly included a number of species from Australasia, including Tasmanian pepper (D. lanceolata). Recent botanical studies have led to a growing consensus of botanists to split the genus into two, with the Neotropical species remaining in genus Drimys, and the Australasian species classified in genus Tasmannia (Doust et al. 2004).

gollark: I hope C++ works with osmarkslibc™.
gollark: ASCII fits into a byte, yes, but UTF-8 also works on a list of bytes. The difference is the operations you do on them. And two bytes isn't enough for arbitrary Unicode plus constant time access.
gollark: Strings of u8s are not ASCII. Strings of u16s are not Unicode.
gollark: NO!
gollark: UTF-16 is wrong and like two (²) bee.
