Most plants have common but very effective defenses and repellents. Here are some of the many defenses and where they could or are found.
1) Thorns that can be seen on the wood apple
2) Spines that can be seen on the pineapple
3) Prickles that can be seen on the rose
4) Bristles that are seen on the prickly pear
5) Glandular that is found on the tobacco plant
6) Latex that can be found on the inside of the periwinkle plant
