Plant from a dry climate capable of conserving water for longer that other plants, due to structural adaptations like dense pubescence, thick epidermis and resin cover which delay transpiration. Certain mangrove plants are also xerophytes, because water absorption is hindered by excess of salt.
Berry: Succulent fruit, in whose fleshy pulp the seeds are embedded. They are almost always small, but hard. The pulp usually has a vivid color, to attract animals, specially birds. Grapes, oranges, tomatoes and watermelons are berries.
