Description
Lepechinia ganderi is an aromatic shrub with slender branches coated in rough hairs and resin glands. The leaves are lance-shaped and sometimes have toothed edges.
The raceme inflorescence bears flowers on short pedicels. Each flower has a base of long, pointed sepals below a white to light lavender tubular corolla. The flower is lipped at the mouth.
The small, dark, hairless fruit develops attached to the sepals once the corolla falls.
gollark: Defining everything so *vaguely* results in even less "rule of law" than we have now with somewhat detailed rules.
gollark: We already *work* on pretty informal rules and stuff. You seem to want weird legal-ish procedures in place.
gollark: It's a word used to describe stuff which is obvious to you, but not others.
gollark: Doesn't that just mean even MORE fuzziness and admin-discretion than the at least somewhat specific rules here?
gollark: So, "leave you live" is technically valid if you treat "live" as an adjective meaning "alive", but it's an odd form.
