Welwitschia is a fascinating plant. It lives in a narrow band of land in the Kaokoveld desert in Namibia (and Southwest Angola). It survives by taking water from fog that rolls inland from the Atlantic ocean. The Welwitschia plant has strobili, some plants are male and some are female. Welwitschia has no plant relative, and some have been dated to be as 2000 years old. It grows two permanent leaves that fray and split over time.
