Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Pilosella

👉 Pilosella is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, which includes over 450 species of trees and shrubs. They are commonly known as Japanese cypresses or Japanese maple because their leaves resemble the shape of a cypress leaf. The term "pilot" refers to the ability of these plants to grow at night due to their thick bark and hollowed-out stems, allowing them to emerge from the ground during the day.
