Quintinia

Quintinia is the genus of around 25 evergreen trees and shrubs native to the Philippines, New Guinea, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Australia.[1] Plants have alternate leaves. White or lilac flowers form at the end of stalks or on leaf axils. The fruiting body is a capsule, usually containing a large number of tiny seeds. The genus is named after the gardener Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie.

gollark: Or just rebrand the Sun as an... environmentally-friendly natural hyperscale proton-proton gravitational confinement fusion reactor with built-in wide-spectrum power beaming capability.
gollark: You transmit it down as microwaves or something.
gollark: Also, shorter nights, depending on orbit.
gollark: Combining the totally economical launch costs and probably loss of power to transmission of orbital solar with the wide public acceptance of nuclear power!
