WHAT DOES GLOCHID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

glochid

Glochid

Glochids or glochidia are hair-like spines or short prickles, generally barbed, found on the areoles of cacti in the sub-family Opuntioideae. Cactus glochids easily detach from the plant and lodge in the skin, causing irritation upon contact. The tufts of glochids in the areoles nearly cover the stem surfaces of some cactus species, each tuft containing hundreds of glochids; this may be in addition to, or instead of, the larger, more conspicuous cactus spines, which do not readily detach and are not generally barbed.

Definition of glochid in the English dictionary

The definition of glochid in the dictionary is a barbed spine on a plant such as a prickly pear.
