Description

Ipomopsis arizonica is a monocarpic herbaceous perennial plant, dying after flowering and producing seeds. It grows from 10–30 cm tall, with pinnately lobed leaves 3–5 cm long with 7-11 lobes. The flowers are produced 5-13 on a one-sided spike, each flower tubular, 1 to 2 centimeters long, with five corolla lobes each up to a centimeter long; they are bright red, and pollinated by hummingbirds.

gollark: It doesn't have an AST, it just converts it into machine code directly via regex replacements, so no syntax errors.
gollark: No, that is only in V version 2.
gollark: It actually warps time within the computer to increase processing speeds.
gollark: But faster.
