Wikipedia
Boojum tree
Fouquieria columnaris, the Boojum tree or cirio (American Spanish: [ˈsiɾjo]) is a tree in the ocotillo family,(Fouquieriaceae) whose other members include the ocotillos. Some taxonomists place it in the separate genus Idria. It is nearly endemic to the Baja California Peninsula (both the northern and southern states), with only a small population in the Sierra Bacha of Sonora, Mexico. The plant's English name, Boojum, was given by Godfrey Sykes of the Desert Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona and is taken from Lewis Carroll's poem "The Hunting of the Snark".

boojum tree
A boojum tree, scientifically known as Fouquieria columnaris, is a type of bizarre-looking tree native to Baja California in Mexico. It's characterized by its tall, spiny, often contorted trunk that tapers upward and gives the tree a flame-like appearance. These trees are adapted to arid environments and can grow up to 15 meters high. It is named after the "boojum," a fictional creature in Lewis Carroll's poem "The Hunting of the Snark."
