Herniaria
Herniaria is a genus of flowering plants in the family Caryophyllales known generally as ruptureworts.[1] They are native to Eurasia and Africa but several species have been widely introduced to other continents. These are flat, mat-forming annual herbs.[2] The genus gets its scientific and common names from the once-held belief that species could be used as an herbal remedy for hernias.[3]

gollark: That on its own doesn't say if it's expensive. What does 100 robux *get* you?
gollark: Solution: ban robux.
gollark: I suppose it might be somehow using a very precisely configured `iframe`, if it could make it pop up the textbox somehow.
gollark: Sites can't just read the cookies of arbitrary other sites, I mean. It's probably some weird exploit.
gollark: Well, yes, but if it was somehow able to directly read those... why bother with the textbox?
