For Sale: Wool Alien Products

Wool alien

The term wool alien is used for any plant species whose occurrence at a particular site is due to its having been transported there as a result of the making of wool products, the most common process being that the seed of this plant will have become attached to a sheep or other wool-producing animal, the animal shorn and the raw wool transported to a mill where it is refined, and the impurities discarded, including the seed, which then successfully germinates.
