One unique adaptation for one of my observations is that Burdocks have hooked tips which are an adaptation for seed dispersal. Animals pass by the plant and the hooked tips grasp onto the animal's fur, eventually the burdocks fall off spreading the seed to new locations.

One adaptation that all the observations have in common is that they have waxy leaf cuticles, which are impermeable to water which then stops evaporation.

The phylogeny placement of the Greater Burdock, is Arctium lappa.
