Oldenburgia grandis

Oldenburgia grandis is a shrub or small, gnarled tree in the family Asteraceae. It occurs in the mountains around Grahamstown in South Africa. It grows to a height of about 5m on sandstone outcrops. It has thick corky bark and large leaves clustered at the ends of branches. The leaves are dark green and leathery, reminiscent of loquat leaves, but generally a good deal larger. The emergent leaves are densely and completely felted with white hair. Most of the felt is lost as the leaf matures, but some persists on under-surfaces. Flowers are purple and in large heads about 12 cm in diameter. The flowerheads are solitary and terminal. It is threatened by habitat loss.

gollark: What do you mean "crack passwords"?
gollark: FORTRAN is apparently quite widely used in high performance computing, and there are recent standard versions.
gollark: It does not look fine. Two consecutive lines are differently indented, there's an async IIFE there with one line in it, and it's generally weird and inconsistent.
gollark: It has automatic semicolon insertion. If you are missing some and your code doesn't work it's probably horribly formatted somehow.
gollark: Anyway, it seems like your code is horribly accursed. I would bet nothing whatsoever it's a scope issue - you're trying to use commands outside of where it's defined. It would help if you posted all the code.
