The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).

Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

The current definition is seemingly nonsense, guesswork based on misunderstanding; see Wiktionary:Tea_room/2023/October#xyrophilic. The one citation provided is a typo of xerophilic. Hypothetically this could be a real word meaning "razor-loving", but probably it should just be deleted. No objection if someone bolder than me wants to just delete it... - -sche (discuss) 03:16, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

No low hanging fruit gives me any cites for xyrophyllous, which would in fact be a well-formed Greek word ... I suppose we just tend to call such plants thorny or prickly. —Soap— 19:49, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
