Description
Sorbus vexans is a small tree or shrub, often with multiple stems. The leaves, greyish-white below like other whitebeams, are narrower than most other species in this genus. The fruits, which develop from September on, are deep red.[3]
gollark: Just randomly truncate it for less formal settings.
gollark: Maybe just drop to 64-bit UUIDs with an efficient information-dense encoding. Collision chance is still decently low.
gollark: I duckduckwent it.
gollark: So osmarks.tk uses osmarksuuids, which are just v4 UUIDs.
gollark: I pointed out that sequential numbers were obviously a bad idea, because of, among other things, speed of light delays, and the difficulty of synchronizing the count everywhere, and that UUIDs were better.
