Answer:
Explanation:The seed has a pappus of hair and is wind dispersed in dry conditions. Tests suggest maximum seed dispersal distances of 4.4 and 6.6 metres at wind speeds of 10.9 and 16.4 km/hour respectively but this would be affected by release height. In wet conditions the pappus collapses and dispersal is limited.
