Welwitschia mirabilis: The Plant That Never Dies
Welwitschia mirabilis is an ancient desert plant native to the Namib Desert, known for its extreme longevity, with some individuals living over 3,000 years. The plant consists of only two leaves that grow continuously throughout its life, often splitting due to harsh environmental conditions. It survives in extreme aridity by using a deep taproot and capturing moisture from coastal fog, making it a remarkable living fossil adapted to one of the harshest environments on Earth.
