Description

Solidago californica is a rhizomatous perennial herb producing a hairy stem up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) tall. The lance-shaped leaves are up to 14 centimeters (5.6 inches) long near the base of the plant, and smaller farther up.[4]

The inflorescence is a narrow, often one-sided series or cluster of many flower heads. Each flower head contains many yellow disc florets and surrounded by up to 11 narrow yellow ray florets which measure up to half a centimeter (0.2 inches) long.[4]

gollark: ```pythonfrom esolangs_programming_channel import ability_to_import_from_esolangs_programming_channel```Now you *have* to make it.
gollark: But with import-from-discord we could go a step further! Import your entire program with outsourcing!

gollark: How about one which, when you import a thing, will send a request to esolangs' <#412764872816852994> to write it, and then use the code they give.
