Prickly threadbush
Prickly threadbush is a resilient plant commonly found in arid landscapes. It is distinguished by its woody, branching stems and delicate, needle-like leaves, which equip prickly threadbush to minimize water loss in its dry environment. This plant often bears small, clustered flowers, with each bloom cradled in rigid, spiny bracts, an adaptation likely evolved to deter herbivores and protect its reproductive structures.
