Very nice details
and Mayur 's id

I wonder why does a weedy plant like a commelina need so much hair ... to catch or trap what?
Mayur your thought on the uses of so many hairs?
Regards
Ushadi

Dear Usha di, 

Leaf or the spathe hairs perhaps can refer to reduce the grazing. As much haired are less browsed and less affected! 

Hairs on stamens in Cyanotis, Murdannia and Tradescantia are unicellular and moniliform as well. But here it can be referred as food or help to attract the pollinators. 

Hairs on fruits, as in section Rhopalephora are usually glandular, and may referred as to improve the seed dispersal. 

Sincerely, 
Mayur
