complex flora is that of coal. Que, as hère used, is called an expletive, sometimes rendered by "namely," serving as a kind of connective to hold together the ends of the sentence. It is frequently so used when for emphasis the logical subject (hère celle) is placed after the verb être; and ce then précèdes the verb, where in English no like word is required. Also in exclamations, where c'est (etc.) is omitted, as in the next sentence, que is similarly employed.
