		Welwitsch was an exceptional man. He was a diligent student, an astonishingly particular collector and a visionary botanist.
		Although the Portuguese government understood this task in a completely different way as Welwitsch did - which caused unsurmountable problems only to be healed by time - he did enrich our knowledge immensely and made us richer.
		Because of the magnificent name and since I was interested in growing the plant adored by dr. Welwitsch, I sowed the seeds in pots made of plastic bottles with the necks cut off.

		In September 1859, Friedrich Welwitsch was in the Kaokoveld.
		Welwitsch wrote of the encounter, "could do nothing but kneel down on the burning soil and gaze at it, half in fear lest a touch should prove it a figment of my imagination."

		The plant is thought to absorb water through peculiar structures on its leaves, harvesting moisture from the dew that comes into the desert every night.
		Named after Dr. Friedrich Welwitsch who discovered it in 1860, it is generally considered to be one of the oddest plants in existence.
		Although considered endangered due to its very slow growth and the fact that older plants are desired by collectors, a fair number of plants exist in the wild.

		But it is the welwitschia Welwitschia mirabilis plants, some over a metre high and more than a thousand years old, that are the most intriguing denizens of the desert plains.
		The plants were first recorded in the 1860s, at almost exactly the same time by the intrepid German botanist Dr Friedrich Welwitsch and the artist-explorer Thomas Baines.
		It is a coniferous plant (gymnosperm) that is an evolutionary forebearer of the flowering angiosperms, with the male plant having large salmon-to-green cones and a separate female plant with bright red inflorescences.

		The leaves can spread for several metres across, and their roots go about a metre down.
		Their scientific name comes from the first European to describe it, Friedrich Welwitsch, and mirabilis from its marvellous ability to survive in such harsh, apparently waterless conditions.
