Dispersal Biology of Desert Plants
... wings reduce the rate of seed release (see hygrochasy, Sect. 8.3). In all these
examples dispersal is a combination of hygrochasy and rain ballism. 4.3.5
Hygrochasy In the case of hygrochasy the effect of rain or dew on dispersal is
indirect ...

Vegetation Ecology of Socotra
Members of the genus Xylocalyx display hygrochasy predators, but also
facilitates wind dispersal, i.e. telechory, to varying degrees. Some species,
especially various composites, possess a pappus, a parachute-like structure that
enables the ...

According to a study from Wellington, New Zealand, “Hygrochasy is a capsule-
opening mechanism predominantly associated with plants in arid habitats, where
it facilitates spatially and temporally restricted dispersal. Recently, hygrochastic ...

Palestine Journal of Botany: Jerusalem series
As already shown by ZOHARY (I937) a series of carpo~biological phenomena
obviously impede long-distance dispersal. Among them hygrochasy, occurring in
the so-called “Jericho roses”, arouse particular interest, but the cases, hitherto ...
Seed-dispersal mechanisms Hygrochasy Of the many biological features
characteristic of plants of arid regions, those concerning dispersal of fruits and
seeds are among the most interesting. Some arid zone herbaceous plants,
mainly ...

... to a great distance (Euphorbia, Geranium, etc.). This dehiscence on drying is
termed XEROCHASY, and is contrasted with the opening of the fruits and
dispersal of the seeds in some desert plants when they are moistened (
HYGROCHASY).

The Biodiversity of African Plants
Also, by simple experiments on herbarium material we have been able to prove
that all species within the genus show hygrochasy, i.e. the seeds are released
after wetting (Zohary 1962, van der Piji 1972). In the dry hardening capsules,
which ...
