Summary

In the Namib Desert, a very particular tree by the name of Welwitschia mirabilis grows. Its Afrikaansʼ vernacular name is Tweeblaarkanniedood which translates as “Two leaves, canʼt die”. Itʼs a living fossil, a survivor from primeval times, reaching only about one metre in height. However, its taproot is some thirty metres long. It has just two leaves which conversely are many metres long. Itʼs dioecious (male and female plants exist separately) and is classed within the order of Gnetophyta. This group is intermediate between gymnosperms (like conifers and ferns) and angiosperms (flowering plants). The tree is connected with the number two.
