Etymology

The name Pannoparmelia comes from the Latin term pannosus, which means 'felt-like texture'. This is a reference to the noticeably spongy thallus exhibited by species in this genus.[2]

gollark: Kind of fooling you into believing you're talking to a human isn't exactly an indicator of human level intelligence.
gollark: That's kind of ad hominem. Stuff can still be true if a deterministic process says it.
gollark: Well, the free will thing here seems to just be that somehow you magically get nondeterminism introduced somewhere.
gollark: I mean, if you have some neuron which happens to randomly flick on and off nondeterministically, does that add free will now?
gollark: I don't particularly *like* this way of considering it, but it *is* one.
