  • Welwitschia is a monotypic gymnosperm genus, comprising solely the very distinct Welwitschia mirabilis. The plant is commonly known simply as Welwitschia, and has various common names in local languages, for example kharos or khurub in Nama, tweeblaarkanniedood in Afrikaans, nyanka in Damara, and onyanga in Herero. It is the only genus of the family Welwitschiaceae and order Welwitschiales, in the division Gnetophyta. Informal sources commonly refer to the plant as a living fossil.[2][3] Welwitschia mirabilis is endemic to the Namib desert within Namibia and Angola. The insects on the plant are Pyrrhocoridae: Odontopus sexpunctatus. The genus is also known as Probergrothius.
