. This is achieved by a sticky and viscous secretion, as clear as water and brittle when dry, consisting probably of polysaccharides, which is very slowly soluble in water. In a young stage, the secretion allows the sinking of small particles, adhering sand grains. As for the function of psammophory, mimesis with the environment and protection against herbivores, high insolation and abrasion by sandy winds are argued (
