Comparison of the fruits of three sympatric species of Enterolobium. E. schomburgkii is the one to the right.
Names
E. schomburgkii is also known as "dormidero", because of its minute leaflets reminiscent of Mimosa pudica. Mimosa pudica also called by a similar name ("dormidera").
Distribution
E. schomburgkii ranges from Central America to the Amazon basin and even further south.[1]
Description
E. schomburgkii differs from the similar, sympatric, Enterolobium cyclocarpum by smaller and smoother pods, and by its noticeably smaller, and more numerous leaflets. Unlike other species in the genus, seeds are smaller (<1 cm), its wood is reported to be denser than, for instance, Enterolobium cyclocarpum's..[2] and it is reported to bear fruit only every two to three years[3]
gollark: I wonder how long it'll be before someone makes Unicode Turing-complete.
gollark: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/5penft/parallelizing_enjarify_in_go_and_rust/dcsgk7n/I think this just wonderfully encapsulates Go.
gollark: Oh, it also has that weird conditional compile thing depending on `_linux.go` suffixes or `_test.go` ones I think?
gollark: Okay, sure, you can ignore that for Go itself, if we had Go-with-an-alternate-compiler-but-identical-language-bits it would be irrelevant.
gollark: I can't easily come up with a *ton* of examples of this, but stuff like generics being special-cased in for three types (because guess what, you *do* actually need them), certain basic operations returning either one or two values depending on how you interact with them, quirks of nil/closed channel operations, the standard library secretly having a `recover` mechanism and using it like exceptions a bit, multiple return values which are not first-class at all and which are used as a horrible, horrible way to do error handling, and all of go assembly, are just inconsistent and odd.
