Virotia

Virotia is a genus of six species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae. The genus is endemic to New Caledonia with six species that were once placed in Macadamia.[1] Its closest relatives are the Australian Athertonia and the Asian Heliciopsis.[2] The genus is named after Robert Virot, pioneer of ecological studies in New Caledonia and author of a monograph of New Caledonian Proteaceae.

gollark: Hmm, I'm relatively sure your exploit isn't in privileged execution, since the code seems sound. But I thought so about the rest of it too.
gollark: It lists all existing visible files.
gollark: It works as normal.
