The Role of Pachinarium in the Environment

Pachinarium only occurs in dry habitats. They cannot survive in really wet habitats. The reason is this, look at the leaves. They have a leaf that's sticking up in the air like this, designed to catch water. And notice that the veins are all directed in toward the mid-rib. So any drop of water that touches any part of that leaf, it courses itself down on this mid-rib and where to? A sulquet panda,. which has a groove in it, which carries the water right into the root system.
