The Living Desert - Boojum (248 words)
The Boojum is an incredibly odd plant species found only on the peninsula of Baja California, with small populations growing near Puerto Libertad, Sonora, Mexico.
Along with the Cardons, ocotillos, and yuccas, the Boojum forms the succulent forests of the Viscaino Desert of Baja.
The Boojum, like other ocotillos, is able to quickly shed its leaves during drought or dry periods, and then quickly grow new leaves after rainfall.
