PMR571-08 Namibia: Namib Naukluft National Park: a male plant of Welwitschia mirabilis. The plant is reputed to live to an age of 1500 years on occasions. Water is obtained from the morning coastal mists: there is almost no rain in Namibia. It may be likened to a tree whose trunk grows downwards from the surface.
