Surianaceae

The Surianaceae are a family of plants in the order Fabales with five genera and eight known species.[1] It has an unusual distribution: the genus Recchia is native to Mexico, and the sole member of Suriana, S. maritima, is a coastal plant with a pantropical distribution; and the remaining three genera are endemic to Australia.

gollark: That does seem... relevant, but also complex to implement and probably overkill for just detecting line vs parabola.
gollark: You can *approximate* just checking if it's going in a straight line...
gollark: Actually, if you want to detect just whether it's going straight up or down as opposed to other directions that's easier.
gollark: So what you want is to figure out if three points are (roughly) on a line?
gollark: What do you mean "type of parabola"? <@318817623590830080>
