In time of
drought the plants shrivel and are almost invisible as they get
covered with fine wind-blown
sand. After
rain, however, they
absorb water and become fat and
turgid. There is a considerable correlation between the colour of
different
populations and the nature of their
habitats. The more
widespread a
taxa is the more
variation
within that taxa.
