Eucalyptus trees are the tallest known flowering plants, up to 100 m (330 ft) or more; they are grown for timber and for their oils, used in candy, perfumes and cough medicine. [10] Mangos and cashews come from the same plant family as poison ivy, and can sometimes trigger allergic reactions. [11]
Prickles on a blackberry branch. In plant morphology, thorns, spines, and prickles, and in general spinose structures (sometimes called spinose teeth or spinose apical processes), are hard, rigid extensions or modifications of leaves, roots, stems, or buds with sharp, stiff ends, and generally serve the same function: physically defending plants against herbivory.
So, getting back to dodders, let’s look more closely at what we might reasonably call the plants’ foraging behavior.There are some 150 to 200 species of dodder (depending on the taxonomist you ...
