Description
The inflorescence is coiled in bud, but generally elongates in fruit. The pedicels are generally 0–1 mm, and the flower is bisexual with the sepals fused below the middle.[5]
Taxonomy
It was first described as Maccoya sepalea in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller,[1][6] but was assigned to the genus, Plagiobothrys, in 1928 by Ivan Murray Johnston.[7]
gollark: Which was more practical when it *did actually cost less*.
gollark: Given the magnitude of the increases, hold on while I pull up a graph, I think it may *not* be worth it.
gollark: Not really. It was just cheaper. We still have subsidies for it here.
gollark: But the question is: is it actually worth it/do we get better education out of it per $?
gollark: If you look at historical pricing of this sort of level of education, IIRC it has increased *massively* since... 40 years ago?
