Salvia somalensis is a many stemmed rangy plant that grows up to 5 feet (1.5 m) high and 3 feet (0.91 m) wide. The leaves are oblong and yellow-green, reaching 4 inches (10 cm) long and 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. The pale wisteria-blue flowers grow in tight, many-flowered whorls, growing on inflorescences that are unusual in that they do not always grow on the terminal ends of stems.[1]

gollark: Even though it was temporary, the damage to the fabric of reality was substantial. Though not as bad as when someone somehow set all the derivatives of position to 1.
gollark: Specifically, "not finitely describable" is not well defined.
gollark: We did slightly disprove this once, but there were issues with the assumptions.
gollark: Yes. I checked.
