Bur

A bur (also spelled burr) is a seed or dry fruit or infructescence that has hooks or teeth.

Some other forms of diaspores, such as the stems of certain species of cactus also are covered with thorns and may function as burs.

Bur-bearing plants such as Xanthium species are often single-stemmed when growing in dense groups, but branch and spread when growing singly.

Function

Burs catch on the fur of passing animals or the clothing of people. The hooks or teeth generally cause irritation, and some species commonly cause gross injury to animals, or expensive damage to clothing or to vehicle tires.

Burs serve the plants that bear them in two main ways.

Firstly, burs tend to repel some herbivores, much as other spines and prickles do.

Secondly, plants with burs rely largely on living agents to disperse their seeds; their burs are mechanisms of seed dispersal by epizoochory (dispersal by attaching to the outside of animals).

Most epizoochorous burs attach to hair on the body or legs of the host animal, but a special class of epizoochorous bur is known as the trample-bur (or trample-burr). Several species of Tribulus, Harpagophytum, and Grielum produce fruit in the form of trample-burs. As the name suggests, they attach themselves to the animal when trampled. They may hook onto the legs of animals as the large hooks of Harpagophytum do, sometimes causing serious injury, but sometimes hooking onto the leg of say, an ostrich, apparently without causing discomfort. It also might penetrate a hoof or foot pad or the tyre of a vehicle, only to be shed after being carried for a considerable time and distance; most Tribulus and Grielum species are specialised for such attachment, variously being flat, but with upward-directed spikes as in say, Grielum humifusum, or shaped like a caltrop as in some species of Tribulus that have achieved the status of cosmopolitan weeds by sticking to the tyres of aircraft.

Ich Lieb' Dich

by: Pur

Ein gebrochener Arm, ein gebrochenes Herz
Mitten im Höhenflug, ein Häufchen Elend
Dann diese Augen, Dein Blick
Bringt die Wende, bringt mir Glück
Hast mich getröstet, hast mich gepflegt
Bedingungslos, freier Eintritt in meine Seele
Schlafende Geister geweckt
Dummheit gedeckt
Neuen Mut in mich hineingelacht
Mich belebt mit Deiner großen Macht
Ja, das kaum Geglaubte doch geschafft
Ich hab zwar lang gebraucht, gezögert
Doch endlich muß es raus
Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
Anfangs war es ein Rausch, doch der Kater blieb aus
Und Du, Schatz und Maus, hast mich gefangen
Gelockt und mit dem, was mich reizt
Nicht gegeizt
Ich fühl' mich eifersüchtig wohl nach Dir
Bitte tu' was sich nicht gehört mit mir
Nimm den netten Jungen und das Tier
Oh, nimm Dir, was ich brauch'
Und hol' das Beste aus mir raus
Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
Ich lieb' Dich, egal wie das klingt
Ich lieb' Dich, ich weiß daß es stimmt
Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest, wenn Du mich nur läßt
Wir spiel'n das Biest und die Schöne
doch welche Rolle spiel' ich?
Nein, daß Du zweifellos schön bist
Nein, das bestreit ich nicht
Doch zum Glück bist du auch ein Biest
Ich krieg' Dich, verlaß' Dich drauf
Ich krieg' Dich, ich geb' nicht auf
Denn ich lieb' mich bei Dir, ich lieb' mich an Dir
Ich lieb' mich in Dir fest
Oh, ich lieb' Dich...
