Most of the lurkers don't have anything in their profile but every once in a while I run across something interesting. Some folks are just plain too shy to post. I know since I used to be one of those people less than a year ago.<br><br>

well yes there was a multi-barb to the post, which did include the fact that Caltrop(s) is the name for a vast array of dangerous pointy things with multiple spikes. Everything from Ninja throwing knives to grenades, similarly thus spiked.<br><br>No doubt that these are all sly lurkers awaiting the doing of violence.. but in reality it was the namesake of Caltrop.. the plant family which is where the idea of multi pointed weapons got both the ideas and the name from.<br><br>Catheads is a common name used around here for them but sly lurkers is apt as they lie in wait for your unsuspecting bare feet, once you find them with your feet, the next inescapable and impromptu position, is on your hands and knees, which by this time are also full of them and all you have left to do is roll over and get them stuck in all over you..Let me tell you that though far less violent appearing.. Caltrops is a particularly vicious plant family. They leave a poison behind after you extract them that will cause a festering wound, which for all the digging with tweezers will not find the thorn which you are absolutely sure just has to be still in there because it hurts like it is..for days and days. Coming off a motorbike and sliding through a patch... First it is hands and arms, then face and torso, then legs.. ow ow! Makes you look like one huge pustule. You must by now, realize why I christened them sly lurkers.<br><br>Caltrop \Cal"trop\, Caltrap \Cal"trap\, n. [OE. calketrappe,<br> calletrappe, caltor (in both senses), fr.

See 1st<br> {Trap}.]<br> 1. (Bot.) A genus of herbaceous plants ({Tribulus}) of the<br> order {Zygophylle[ae]}, having a hard several-celled<br> fruit, armed with stout spines, and resembling the<br> military instrument of the same name. The species grow in<br> warm countries, and are often very annoying to cattle.<br><br> 2. (Mil.) An instrument with four iron points, so disposed<br> that, any three of them being on the ground, the other<br> projects upward.

May or may not be introduced to Australia, is now however widely spread and reported from all mainland states of Australia. There are possibly 10 species of tribulus indigenous to Australia, some endemic others with distributions in Asia, SE Asia and the Pacific region.<br>Tribulus terrestris is considered a weed of pasture and agricultural land and is declared a noxious weed in at least some states. Fairly drought tolerant and comes back quickly. Related to syrian rue and seeds reported to contain similar alkaloids, ie; beta-carboline alkaloids such as harmaline, though there is little direct phytochemical studies of Australian species. Some species are suspected of stock poisoning in Australia, though this may be due to fungal breakdown of wet mown foliage than the plant directly producing toxins.<br>Used in Ayurveda, sometimes in combination with Mucuna or cowhage, plant and dried spiny fruit are esteemed as cooloing, demulcent, diuretic, tonic and aphrodisiac. Stems are considered astringent. It's action on the mucous membrane of the urinary tract closely resembles that of Buchu and UvaUrsi flowers. The plant which was also known to the Greek physicians is used in Sth Europe as an aperient and diuretic. One native species Tribulus cistoides was reportedly used by Aborigenes for toothache by chewing the plant and holding it next to the tooth.<br><br>Tribulus species reported from Australia<br><br>Tribulus <br>astrocarpus <br>cistoides <br>eichlerianus <br>hystrix <br>leptophyllus <br>micrococcus <br>minutus <br>occidentalis <br>ranunculiformis <br>terrestris <br>http://pi.cdfa.ca.gov/weedinfo/TRIBULUS2.html<br>

Re: Lurkers.. - 08/11/02 05:44 PM
From the way I read it, Entish has shown that the major species probably came from Morocco and landed in Australia, where it possibly diversified after it naturalized and that the plant family is now found in many parts of the world including the drier areas of the US.<br><br>Best not to get an Ent animated as they tend to go on...and on...and on... He may start talking about the Red back spider and start telling you that it came from the US to Australia(black widow) and that it has most Aussies scared ****less about using the little outhouse. Since the Red Back prefers dark moist places.<br><br>Why the Aussies even wrote a song about it, that went;..
