Description

Micrantheum serpentinium is a woody shrub which reaches up to 3m tall.[1] The leaves are 5 to 9mm long and 1.5 to 3.3mm wide.[1] Yellow to greenish flowers typically appear in spring (from September to November).[1] Both male and female flowers appear on the same plant.[1] They arise from the base of the leaves.[1] They are solitary or found in small groups.[1] The fruit is yellow-brown, oval shaped, 3 to 3.3mm long and 2.3 to 2.7mm wide.[1] The fruits have purple-black protrusions at the top and reach maturity in summer (around January).[1]

gollark: It'd take a year at optimal speeds. Probably more in practice since a player would need to be there to manage them.
gollark: 32 GTech™ experimental laser drills could plausibly clear a chunk in a minute or so. There are (14000/16)² chunks. Oh no.
gollark: Self replicating turtles and/or lasers.
