Vouarana

Vouarana is a genus of medium-sized trees of the soapberry subfamily Sapindoideae, native to tropical southern Central America and northern South America. It is closely related to the genus Cupania.[2] As was his wont, Aublet named the genus after what the local people called the plants, a practice his contemporaries criticized as barbarous.[3]

gollark: That's technically inaccurate.
gollark: But it totally can run on x86.
gollark: Android is a horrible OS and it should not be allowed to spread to computers.
gollark: Mandatory actually it is eventually getting generics, but the fact that it has taken several years is ridiculous, and so is how half the users just insisted that no, you could totally avoid using them via [ACCURSED HORRIBLE HACKERY].
gollark: Mandatory lol no generics.
