A plant, also known as filaree or alfilaria, with a distinctive seed pod that resembles a bird's beak.
From 'hen' plus 'bill' (the beak of a bird). The name describes the shape of the seed pod, which resembles the pointed bill of a hen or other small bird.
Henbill seeds have a remarkable engineering feature—they're equipped with a spiral twist that literally screws themselves into soil when exposed to moisture, allowing plants to bury their own seeds without animal help.
