Explanation

Thorn and scrub forests are characterized by drought-resistant, xerophytic plant species. Acacias, palms, euphorbias, and cacti are typical plants adapted to arid conditions with water storage features, thorns, or reduced leaves. Pine and deodar are montane conifers. Ebony and mahogany are tropical rainforest species. Bamboos and sal thrive in moist deciduous forests, not thorn forests.
