#bristled

• Bristled — Having curled up or bristled like a hedgehog; describes hair that is coarse, rigid, and standing up, or a surface full of roughness, tiny spines, or irregularities. In a popular veterinary sense, it refers to a horse affected by the scratches disease, having the skin above the hoof cracked, rough, and swollen.
• Aristate — Bearing an awn or bristle; a botanical term used to describe a plant organ (such as the glume, palea in grasses, or leaf of other plants) that terminates in a long, stiff, slender, and sharp point resembling a hair or an elastic bristle. This morphological adaptation plays an essential structural role in protecting seeds against predators and facilitating their dispersal by clinging.
