Fix also the lexicon article for Nis̊onmgo

A parasitic plant that tends to grow on trees or in bushes, with broad, leaf-scale white petals obstructing light from anything beneath it. Its centre resembles a certain red dot or circular pin cushion, with a fuzz of tiny stigmata poking out in all directions. Tends to hang semi-horizontally out from branches small enough for it to grow around, usually leading to portions of the infested host looking like separate white-leaved trees were spliced into them. The leafy & beefy petals are hexagonal, tapering somewhat towards the outer edge and bearing a certain resemblance in shape to young plants of various paulownia species.
