Description

The plant is an epiphytic fern. It has a stout, erect rhizome with light brown, lanceolate scales. Its simple fronds combine a short stipe with a narrowly elliptic lamina 3–15 cm long and 0.4–0.8 cm wide.[1]

Distribution and habitat

The fern is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea; it is confined to the cloud forest on the upper slopes and summits of Mounts Lidgbird and Gower.[1]

gollark: Maybe a standard interface for external plugins for access to that stuff, so browsers wouldn't need to implement all the APIs individually?
gollark: I'm not sure what to do about the proliferation of random web APIs. On the one hand, exposing USB and graphics cards and stuff *may* be a bad idea. On the other hand, it is a nice application platform still.
gollark: It would also ship with a good document diffing engine built in, so you could write declarative code like people do now with React, but faster and without frameworks.
gollark: It could probably also do that. I don't know if it would interact nicely with the coroutine thing.
gollark: i.e. like writing synchronous code, but the coroutine yields while an asynchronous call happens
