It is a succulent perennial that grows in a clumping formation. Its leaves are enormously bulbous and are usually a grey to light green color, with a marbled pattern on the top.[2] The flower is much like a daisy, and sprouts from between each pair of leaves.[3]

gollark: Come to think of it, it might just be comparing *pairs* via some hashing thing and not be a total ordering, but I doubt it.
gollark: I used highly advanced coding and algorithms™ to try a bunch of algorithms to see if any of them put the list in the right order.
gollark: Maybe there could be multiple hashing algorithms in use, oh bεes.
gollark: Okay, not even weird variants of SHA2 with different lengths appear to work.
gollark: SHA3 is also not apparently in use.
