Patrinia

Patrinia is a genus of herbaceous plants in the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae).[1] There are about 17 species[1] native to grassy mountain habitats in China, Siberia and Japan. These are unassuming clump-forming perennial plants having thin, erect stems with few leaves and bearing a terminal inflorescence with yellow or white flowers. The use for this plant is to provide a flower through long hot summers.

Fossil record

One fossil fruit of †Patrinia palaeosibirica has been extracted from borehole samples of the Middle Miocene fresh water deposits in Nowy Sacz Basin, West Carpathians, Poland.[2]

gollark: IIRC the actual dies generally aren't actually that big, so they just pick a convenient size.
gollark: I believe Micron is offering stuff based on the same technology, and there's a bunch of other nonvolatile storage things being worked on.
gollark: Intel has Optane, which is nonvolatile, more expensive than SSDs but cheaper than DRAM, and between the speed of both.
gollark: Not that I know of.
gollark: Flash stuff can be stacked somehow, which makes it cheaper, but also not sure why.
