👉 Hylaspites are a group of plants known for their unique, cylindrical structures that can be found in various habitats such as forests and grasslands. These plants have a distinctive characteristic where the stems are often covered with a protective layer called a "hylaspite," which is made up of a series of thin, filiform hairs arranged in a spiral pattern. This hylaspite serves as a defense mechanism against herbivorous animals that may attack it.
