Description

Zenobia is a hairless shrub, sometimes with a waxy coating on the foliage. The leaves are elliptical or egg-shaped. The plant has numerous white flowers in flat-topped or elongated arrays, each flower has 5 separate sepals and 5 united petals, forming a bell-shaped corolla. Each flower can produce up to 200 egg-shaped seeds in a dry capsule.[1]

Fossil record

10 fossil fruits of †Zenobia fasterholtensis have been described from middle Miocene strata of the Fasterholt area near Silkeborg in Central Jutland, Denmark.[2]

Species[3]
gollark: How might I go about implementing a simple text adventure thing on a {4,5} tiling? I think it should probably just be represented as a graph for most operations, but I have no idea how to actually build one (incrementally/lazily) for it. Some page on the HyperRogue says that you can identify tiles by a path from the origin, but I don't know how you would make a canonical form for those/check if they are equal to each other.
gollark: Clearly you had expectations. Stop having those.
gollark: But my phone keyboard is a bit bees
gollark: Oh, well, I meant something like "producing bees" or maybe "utilizing bees".
gollark: No. I will. Not.
