Description
Madia anomala is an annual herb growing 20 to 50 centimeters tall with a bristly, glandular, branching stem. The hairy, glandular leaves are several centimeters long.
The inflorescence is a cluster of flower heads. Each head is a spherical involucre of hairy phyllaries covered in knobby resin glands. It spreads at the top with several yellow ray florets a few millimeters long and black-tipped disc florets.
The fruit is a shiny black achene with no pappus.
gollark: I would either use Rust or Nim. But both are annoying in some ways.
gollark: The project is currently shelved due to the caching interacting poorly with dynamic sites and the lack of programming languages sufficient to contain the power it wields.
gollark: I could also make live-updating things, make the theming actually good, A/B-test unsuspecting users, and make achievements work better.
gollark: No JS, server rendering of comment sections.
gollark: This would also result in "improved" comments and some other things.
