Distribution

This is an annual herb which is native to much of Eurasia, the Mediterranean region, and North Africa.

It is found in many other areas of the world as a weedy introduced species, including Australia, New Zealand, and parts of the Americas.

Description

Erodium botrys starts from a flat rosette of highly lobed green leaves on red petioles. It grows to heights of anywhere from 10 to 90 centimeters with somewhat hairy stems and foliage.

It bears small flowers with hairy, pointed sepals surrounding five purple-streaked lavender petals.

The filaree fruit is quite long, its style reaching up to 12 centimeters in length.

gollark: Lua does.
gollark: Also, just using `==` to compare ~~a password and hash~~ secret values of some kind is actually somewhat unsafe because timing channel attacks.
gollark: 2 xor 1024?
gollark: Password hashing algorithms generally let you pass the salt as a separate parameter.
gollark: Anyway, good password hashing algorithms are designed to be hard to parallelize, and to require large amounts of memory, so that they're hard to implement on FPGAs/ASICs/GPUs and run fastest on general-purpose CPU hardware (this is what your server has).
