I think brambles and even worse, blackthorn, use their thorns as defence but unfortunately they can cause septic punctures. Hedgelayers are always very careful about blackthorn as that can cause quite a lot of trouble with septic cuts.
As far as sheep are concerned, I think the general opinion of them is they can find any way known to man, and a few known only to sheep, to get themselves into trouble, so if not rescued, die rather easily.
There are some ideas that toothwort, Lathraea squamaria, may trap insects underground and use them as food for themselves and the host plant, but otherwise I think it is really confined to known carnivorous plants. |
