       @futurebird I was going to say something clever but I ended up reading about the Boojum Treenamed after an undescribed creature in a strange whimsical poem, holotype destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco, lives in a weird corner of a weird peninsular desert, grows extremely slowly, menanced by tropical storms ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boojum_tree

       @futurebird there's practically no fossil record of cacti, but DNA-based divergence time studies estimate they've been around for at least 30 million years, and some studies estimate maybe 66 or even 90 million years.
