	Ocotillo and the Boojum Tree
		On the rapidly elongating young shoots, each leaf has an unusual type of petiole, in that tissues of the stem cortex become elongated and form the lower portion of the petiole.
		Recent molecular studies of chloroplast DNA now tell us that the Fouquieriaceae family is probably most closely related to North American species of phlox (Polemoniaceae).
		Fouquieriaceae, especially the species of ocotillo and boojum, are landmarks of our deserts.
