The name Lantana derives from the Latin name of the wayfaring tree Viburnum lantana, the flowers of which closely resemble Lantana.[2]

gollark: ???
gollark: It is possible to exploit this using a "spread-spectrum" thing, but really who cares.
gollark: My trilaterators on SC either monitor fixed channels or use the last 127 from a public modem sniffer, which works fine but means that if someone sends on a new channel for the first time in a while it won't know where that was from.
gollark: Then you'd miss things.
gollark: Are detectable via high entropy, although that would be a bit performance-intensive to check and might be false-positive-laden.
