Discovery
The species was first recorded in China by Jesuit missionary João de Loureiro.[4]
Description
X. congestum can grow up to 8–10 feet (2.4–3.0 m) tall and wide.[5] New leaves are a red-bronze colour that mature to a bright green. Although the species seldom flowers, small, black berries can be produced, which attract birds.[3][6]
gollark: If it was, we would have to deploy Fourier transforms or something.
gollark: But light isn't actually continuous in reality due to things.
gollark: Oh, those are already using optical phased arrays to track photon count in an arbitrary number of discrete frequency buckets.
gollark: I mean, a Fourier transform would allow bees to incurse into the frequency domain instead of the time domain.
gollark: Alternatively, something something Fourier transform of inbound light signal?
