I also put a speedy on the diaspore whatever it was.
2.
This type sometimes is called a tumble fruit or diaspore.
3.
Grasses have various units of dispersal : rarely the caryopsis alone, often a diaspore.
4.
In the spikemoss " Selaginella lepidophylla ", dispersal is achieved in part by an unusual type of diaspore, a tumbleweed.
5.
It occurs associated with vesuvianite, chlorite, magnetite, rutile, diaspore, grossular, calcite, diopside and clinozoisite in various locations.
6.
Although in some species the diaspore is a foxtail, in a few ( the " tumble grasses " ) it is like a tumbleweed.
7.
It occurs with kaolinite, gibbsite and diaspore in bauxite deposits; and with nepheline, gibbsite, diaspore, natrolite and analcime in nepheline pegmatites.

9.
Being poisonous and distasteful, they are not attractive to candidate transport animals, so the rolling diaspore is a very effective dispersal strategy for such plants.
10.
The fruit resembles a tumbleweed in that it is wind-dispersed and tumbles, an unusual mechanism of seed dispersal ( see Diaspore ( botany ) ).
