Welwitschia Mirabilis

An extraordinary species of plant native to the areas of Namibia. They are named after Friedrich Welwitsch, a well-known Austrian botanist and explorer who first documented the existence of this plant. They are Gnetophyte plants, distinguishable by their particular covering around the seeds, large in size, which resembles a rare fruit. A curiosity: it is said that the plant has a unique resistance, in nature and for this reason in areas of Africa they say of it: “two leaves cannot die”.
