Cenchrus echinatus (Grass Family: Gramineae)  
This grass loves you, and if you believe love hurts, try squeezing your
fingers on its spikelets. They are armed with spiny recurved barbs that
hook onto your clothing just as easily as they do on the hairy coat of a
passing animal. The spikelets get dispersed in this way. (See Lovegrass)
