Salvia darcyi

Salvia darcyi is a herbaceous perennial shrub native to a very small area at 9000 ft elevation in the eastern range of the Mexican Sierra Madre Orientale. Discovered in the wild in 1991, it has since been sold in horticulture under several names. Botanist James Compton named the plant after fellow British botanist John d'Arcy after a trip they made to the region in 1991.

gollark: While there are quantum-cryptography-proof cryptographic schemes around, they're barely in the early stages of being standardized, not really deployed in any common protocols yet, not reviewed as thoroughly as existing primitives, and generally not very production-ready.
gollark: Which allows factoring things faster, and also apparently discrete logarithm problems somehow.
gollark: Quantum computers can apparently cause problems for all widely deployed asymmetric cryptography via Shor's algorithm.
gollark: It apparently makes brute force take O(sqrt n) time somehow.
