Future improvements to this stub
It looks like I'll be the first to improve on this stub. I've got a few ideas to flesh it out. Firstly, adding a few sources for the paragraphs that already exist. Secondly, one of the three sources on the article is a broken link. I may be able to find the source myself or find a new source for the info there.

I also plan on adding a table of contents. This would make more sense if I could break up the listed info into distinct sections. Without more info, this page won't be able to stand on its own and it's be hard to make the case that it should be a separate article from plant reproductive parts. --LordofChains (talk) 05:40, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Plant motility?
David Attenborough mentions the ability of some awn species to ‘walk’ a seed away from the plant, and to (passively) ‘find’ a suitable germination point.

This seems to indicate a form of botanical motility. If there are RS for such types of motion I would think this article could benefit by mentioning it. 2A00:23C5:E10A:1E01:A164:EEAA:4A98:7138 (talk) 05:22, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

On further thought - these actions seem to be indicative of vagility - however the appearance appears motile especially when using time lapse. Thh h e argument for vagility is that it is external change in heat and humidity that provides the energy for motion. 20040302 (talk) 05:28, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
