Description

It is a mistletoe growing to 150 mm tall. There are up to 30 flowers in a cluster, immersed in a floral cushion with black-tipped hairs. The oval fruits are about 1.5 mm long.[1]

Distribution and habitat

The species is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. Its closest relative may be Korthalsella disticha of Norfolk Island. Recorded host species include Elaeodendron curtipendulum and Jasminum simplicifolium.[1]

gollark: I had assumed this stuff was now ML-based and so you would just compare embedding vectors or something.
gollark: What are they eigenvectors *of*, exactly?
gollark: eigen is "own" or something, and apparently people prefer that over "characteristic vector/value".
gollark: Yes, the term comes from that for mysterious reasons.
gollark: (x is called an "eigenvector", and it might be nicer to think of the eigenvector as a vector which the matrix scales up by that eigenvalue, instead of transforming it in some other way)
