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: You want `keys.getName` to get the name associated with a keycode.
gollark: WRONG!
gollark: Which encodes binary data as nice square images.
gollark: I've never used it (or at least not in any program I can remember), and the most interaction I've had with "colors" and "images" and all that is `paintencode`.
gollark: It can also draw images.
