The plants of the cactus family are particularly well known for their dense covering of spines. Cacti often have a particular kind of spine (as found in areoles of Opuntia) called a glochidium or glochid (plural glochidia or glochids), which is very small and deciduous with numerous retrose barbs along its length.

I knew camels are made to tolerate this. He’s looks like he’s into it though. Ouch!
I don’t think I was anywhere near the high peak of performance today. I was like a flat tire. Prickly hump day, yes!
Wow…”I use Polident, Marge! And you?”
